Recorder

This past week, Zachary brought home a recorder from music class. I just dont get why schools put parents through this! The sound is like nails on a chalk board! Its not that he plays it bad, its just that the recorder doeesnt even make a pleasant sound! I remember my parents covering thier ears too, so its not just me. Someone please tell me what the purpose is. I mean have you ever heard of anyone growing up to play the recorder?

You're totally right. I remember you playing it too. I don't remember me playing one though. And now I have one more thing to look forward to with Paige.

Why, you ask? Since the beginning of time this has been a secret technique to teach moms all over the world patience, tolerance, and a sense pride as their child screeches away at those annoying things. For real, they are used to train bagpipe players.

Patience and tolerance! I get it-now that makes sense!

I have felt your pain! Kaila brought one home 2 years ago I think and then when she started clarinet last year, I can remember the looks on my parents' faces!!! He's just getting you ready for all the baby noises coming your way soon!
