I was also under the impression I could sing, until in the early 90s I attended an exotic carvery / karaoke in Erith, South East London, and got up to sing the romantic ballad “I Will Always Love You”. The lady hosting it asked if I was nervous after 20 seconds, then took over singing. I still have PTSD about it now!
My height. I went around with the belief I was 5 foot 4 inches tall. That was my 12 year old height. I’m actually 5’4” and ¾ but it sounds childish to include it. I’m too much of a drifter to round up to 5’5”. 🤦🏻♀️
I love that you just stuck with your 12-year-old height and never bothered to update it. I agree that it would be hard to be taken seriously with a three-quarters. I would be very tempted to round up because I have the mistaken belief that height is power. But this belief would also stop me rounding up too!
My mom still likes to occasionally remind me of when she would sing with the car radio and I'd get mad and tell her to stop. I don't know if she had a bad voice, but I didn't like it. I was about 3 or 4 years old then. My mom is now 81, and I'm 46, by the way.
I always loved hearing you sing on the Hometime Show!
After that line, I immediately stopped reading to search for the meaning of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Please tell me that was a joke that went over my head! So far, the internet disagrees with you.

How rude! I’m also wondering why carvery karaokes didn’t take off.
I think I killed them off!
Haha!

Just say you're almost 5'5" which is the truth!

Oh sorry yes I was just joking! Sorry!
No worries, I'm a little gullible sometimes.
