Jackie Evancho embarrassed me.

My Nephew and his family came over a while back. They are really good people but I rib him and his daughters a lot and they rib me right back.
Well we got talking about music and my wife asked if they had seen and heard Jackie Evancho. They surprisingly hadn't so my wife gets me to show them some of Jackie's videos. I played them Jackie's OMBC performance at AGT. For the life of me no matter how many times I watch that I get a little misty eyed, so to speak and that time wasn't any different as hard as I tried not to.
Well let's just put it this way, if a ten year old girl, has an on going ribbing war with her uncle, and see's her combat veteran uncle with mist in his eyes, he has just lost a very big battle of the rib war It was such a good opening for that ten year old that her father just threw up his hands and laughed, saying "I don't even have to get into this one!"
To top it off the sweet wife has to say, he always gets that way listening to Jackie!
Darn you Jackie

Clearly your wife knew of your "misty eye" weakness when confronted by Jackie and set you up for a crash in your family ribbing battle. You fell for her suggestion "hook, line and sinker", baiting the hook was not required.

However the introduction to Jackie may turn out to be better than you realize.

You could be right. She is a big Jackie fan as well but....that might have been too tempting.
The older niece was really impressed with Jackie.
