Someone is reminding me that Susie's mother was telling us about how Susie's audition for Revivaltime Singers at CBC was not successful. Susie's mother theorized that it was probably because of her weight problem that she was not able to get a singing position in the Revivaltime choir. So that was their excuse, because, you know, they do prefer the little skinny ones.
Which reminds me that we were told the story of how Judy Thomson's boyfriend rejected her because she was too fat at the time. And then she went on a diet and lost weight and found some other boyfriend who married her. But of course no one ever said that Judy can sing. She doesn't have to now.
