When Mariah and Braxton were young, "Nanny" would often get her "Angels," and take them to church to sing church songs. Almeda would teach them so many songs, as Aunt Evelyn had taught her as a child. Mariah and Braxton would sing while Almeda played the tambourine. Everyone would clap and sing along- they enjoyed Mariah and Braxton so much! "Nanny" was very playful yet a disciplinarian—she would play "Monster" with her "Angels" as well as threaten to "Shake You Up," if they misbehaved.
