Piano Practice
Why are they so hard?
It's not the teacher.
Sis Favreau is wonderful! She is patient, understanding, long suffering (so, so, so longsuffering!) and always has a sense of humor. (Thanks goodness!)
No, the problem is the two of them!
Practicing is like pulling teeth.
When Joey does practice, he plays this really annoying song that I think Sis. Favreau will forever regret giving him. And then he plays around.
For instance, right now the front room is a 'Joey Preserve', meaning no one can touch him,
which really means he cannot be picked on while practicing but he reserves the right to start it all back up when he is done whether everyone is ready or not. (Yes, they are at war!)
Who knew practicing the piano was a great lesson in strategy!
And Mackenzie has many other things to do.
For instance, leading the attack on Joey.
I miss the good old days where kids would sit down and practice the piano for a period of time and then quietly put their books away and get on with life.
No, I get flying books, kids running circles around the chair, and another threatening the other with a Nerf gun because even war is not a good enough excuse to take time for piano practice.
I need an aspirin.
