Sometimes even the teacher can't pay attention.


Today in music, the children were playing various instruments with our phenomenal music teacher. Her name is Mrs. Incredible, and she does things with the children in our school that are nothing short of MIRACULOUS! (And she never yells at me when I Beepul her. You know - Bring Em Early, Pick Em Up Late.)


I went into the room at the tippy end of the music period and Frank immediately shouted to me. “Hey, look at me! I am playing the tangerine!”


“That is NOT a tangerine, silly!” replied Suzy with authority. “A tangerine is a flute!”



Silly Suzy, I thought. A flute? It looks nothing LIKE a flute.



It wasn’t until the end of the day I realized what Suzy had really said. A tangerine IS a fruit. I’m pretty sure my brain wasn’t working today.

Very cute--
But I'm most amazing that you actually have a music teacher in your school. I didn't know those existed anymore.
Cheers, jj

All kidding aside, you might want to check out what a hearing aid will do for you. I got one 2 years ago, and what a difference it made - I have a 30% hearing loss. It sneaks up on you - unless you try one out, you may not realize that you've lost some hearing.

Casey Freeland said...

Maybe a tangerine-colored tambourine is a fluted fruit....

Just a thought.

Cheers,
