<Background: The bad news was that Eamon was given a recorder (the musical instrument) while at my office today and insisted on playing it as much and as loudly as possible for the last 2+ hours of the work day.
The good news was that as much as he's been banging it on every hard surface he can find, dropping it, and poking it into shrubbery, it shouldn't last longer than a day or two!>
Eamon: <after a long-winded performance in the car> "Wasn't that good, mom?"
Me: "Uh, well, I think it was really good for someone who's never played the recorder before. And you'll get better w/ practice. And maybe we can find recorder playing instructions online..."
Eamon: "But I don't NEED to practice b/c I'm already really good."
Imagine 45 minutes of this...
