This is an original, self-authored, extemporaneous opera by my children.  Actually, the entire performance lasted for about 30 minutes, but I only managed to record a bit.  I trimmed it down to the highlights and transcribed it for your entertainment. I couldn’t suss out a couple words, but you’ll get the gist.  The hilarious, hilarious gist.

I Hate You – The Opera!

Claire:
When you’re at school
I miss you
I love you
I miss you
I love you
I miss you
I love you

Chloe:
Well sorry – I have to go to school
It’s not an option
Sorry, I can’t expel myself

Claire:
I’m so sorry but I won’t hear it from you
I don’t really like you
I don’t
I was lying
I’m sorry
I don’t
I _______ you
And I don’t like you singing
And I hate you
I know
I’m sorry, but I’m not
I’m not sorry- eeee

Chloe:
What are you doing walking like that?
That’s the creepiest walk I’ve ever seen
The only people that do it are maniacs.
So why are you doing it?

Claire:
I don’t like you anymore
‘Cause you’re the stupidest girl in the whole wide world

Chloe:
I am actually advanced in school
You take that!
And I’m smarter than you

Claire:
I am not s-
You are not smarter than me
I’m smarter than you
I don’t like your stuff
I like my own stu-uuuuf!

Chloe:
Well that doesn’t mean that I’m not smart

Claire:
You’re not smart

Chloe:
In fact, I’m really advanced

Claire:
I don’t like your smart
I don’t like your _____
I don’t like anything that you love!
