Crazy Coincidence?

Listening to The Baby by Blake Shelton always makes my mother in law (Debbie) tear up and cry. Not just because its a kick ass song, but because of one specific verse. You see my mother in law has 4 children - 1 girl and 3 boys..

Now, I know that’s not enough for a coincidence, just keep reading.

Debbie’s oldest son is a well driller. He eats, sleeps and breathes this profession. Honest to GOD that’s all you hear from him. The family says drilling is in his veins. I believe it. What’s his name you ask? GREG

Still not coincidental enough?

My husband (Debbie’s middle son) and I have 2 beautiful kids together. My hubby’s name? RONNIE

Not enough yet? ok….

Then we have Randell. He is the youngest (22 yrs old I think) and in mama’s eyes, he can do no wrong.  He has done some really dumb shit (as have we all), but she says “he’s just a kid”.. I swear to you those are her exact words. He is kinda crazy, but he’s her baby..

These boys were named 20+ years ago.. Long before this song made it’s debut.

Would you shed a tear if a song came out with your children’s names?

And what if this same song was an accurate representation of their lives?

Lemme know whatcha think!

Here’s a link to the song for those of you who wanna listen to it real quick: “The Baby – Blake Shelton“
