@elawreads I talk about this (and have a whole exercise around it) in THE MAGIC WORDS ! It is really useful advice.

@caroline_oreo I just scrolled most of the thread and no one said “Where’s the Bathroom?” which is both nearly always relevant & incredibly fun to sing.

[Cheryl B. Klein @chavelaque]

@DTalbeaux @caroline_oreo “Oh My God I Think I Like You” is actually a surprisingly sweet love song, one of the few direct & real love songs in the series.

Co-sign on “LGM” too!

[katemessner @KateMessner]
