My two older sisters and I were signed up for music lessons as kids. This might sound impressive initially. Three girls taking weekly musical lessons at a studio. The reality was that we had to practice our instrument daily for 2 hrs. Do you know how long 2 hrs. is for an elementary school kid during the summer? Torture! We also had to play the songs in front of the class as part of our tests. It was a wonderful opportunity for people who love to be in the lime light, but that is not me. I would get stage fright and miss notes and my nerves would get the best of me. All that aside, playing an instrument would have been cool if, and this is the kicker, the instrument wasn't an....accordian. Yes, people my parents thought it was worth money to put my sisters and I in accordion lessons. Go ahead and laugh, I know I just did.
I thought it was all past me, until my daughter's boyfriend (yup, my daughter has a boyfriend ) gives this to my 8 yr. old son.
The funny thing is that my munchkin loves it, and finds it to be "so much fun". I had to take a picture of his joyful smile. This picture will be framed and given to grandma on Mother's Day. I hope she likes it.

Hahahaha! Good story & cute picture. I'm sure your mother will LOVE it. :o) I'm guessing the accordian is much more fun to play when you're not taking lessons, just going around making noise. Boys love that!
Yes, boys do love making noise.
