The Pup's New Toy.
…hold me.
She’s bouncing off the walls of course.
Pup: LOOK! Here’s how to put it together. Grab this, put it here.
Me: wow. Detailed. How long did that take you to learn?
Pup: twenty minutes! (she’s kidding, of course)
Pup: Wanna know how to mouth it?
Me: You already know how to be mouthy.
Pup: MOM! It’s easy. You make a fart noise. The boys caught on REAL fast.
Me: of course they did.
Pup: LISTEN!
Me: WHAT? I CANT HEAR ANYMORE ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOUD TRUMPET NOISE!
…is this what they meant by the coming of the Apocalypse being heralded by a trumpet?
Pup: I GOT SPIT ON MY LEG! GROSS.
Pup: When I went over to play for Grandpa? He covered the end of my Trumpet! He was playing with me but (fake cries) it made me so SAD (giggles)
Me: don’t they have silencers or something?
PUP: MOOOOOOOOOOOM. Hey! Mom! Don’t you dare put that on Parenting Teens! OMG you ARE putting it on the INTERNETS! I’ll be FAMOUS! I mean..HEY! I’m not a Teen!
Me: This is in case I don’t let you live long enough to OFFICIALLY count as a teen. For instance, if you blow that thing in my ear one more time…
…help me.

I KNOW you’re videotaping me!!!!
bwhahahahahahha – how sad am I that the programs happen on Tuesday and Thursday nights! When I can’t come. 🙁
seriously sad. really . . . why are YOU laughing? YOU get to go. 🙂
lol. How cute. How old is she? Good luck with that, Lessa. May your hearing last long enough to transcribe every Big Brother season. I have my daughter play her ear-piercing flute in her bedroom with the door closed. “I can hear you fine honey.” Really. I can. She opens the window and stands there to play. None of the neighbors have called the cops yet. lol. I did get a lot of comments about it at my yard sale though. Heh.
*L* Hi Sasssy – she’s 10, in fifth grade, thus officially a pre-teen – and sassier than any other 10 year old I know. *LOL*
Nana – don’t worry. We’ll make you watch it on VIDEO.
YAY!!! And, Sasssy . . . Peppermist had to practice her clarinet in the YARD when she first started. 😉 All of the neighbors got to hear her steadily improve.
She didn’t HAVE too! She just DID. 🙂
OMG! That brought back memories of me learning clarinet (“SHUT THAT DARN DOOR IF YOU’RE GOING TO PRACTICE!!!!” — my dad, subtly paraphrased for a family website) and my brother learning trumpet. Have patience, Lessa… it takes time to learn embouchure and technique. :hug:
