Hannah has started band practice. She went up to the school and picked up her beautiful ($700) clarinet on Tuesday. Two of her good friends are also in the "woodwind" group. Lets just say she's finding her tune....
toot ~ toot ~ SQUEEK ~ toot ~ toot ~ SQUEEK. repeat....all day...all night.
Am I a bad parent if you try to think of things for her to do so she doesn't practice? I mean practice is for babies right? Oh, not a good thing to tell her? Well good....but I thought about it. After hours of jumping everytime there is that ear piercing SQUEEK!
Is there a quieter instrument? Please? Would you like her to come seranade you??? Please? Pretty please? Maybe I'll record it and send it in Christmas cards this year (yes Ryan, I WILL send out Christmas Cards this year....all the way, not just fill them out and forget about them....)
It makes me wonder what that band room full of woodwinds sounds like when they are in this stage.
Also, funny Brooke conversation:
Brooke trying to explain what a "nackin" is to the neighbor boy.
Brooke comes in shortly after....
Brooke: Dad, I need a nackin.
Ryan: Why?
Brooke: Because Joey doesn't know what a nackin is.
Ryan: Maybe that's because it's a NAPkin.
Brooke: (holding up napkin to neighbor boy)
Joey: I knooooow what that is.
Oh, the minds of two 6 year olds together....too entertaining.
