Trombone Surprise!

Eddie had a special school day today. Instead of studying, he had to show his Mom around and explain her what he was doing and learning in class, and how everything worked. I learned lots of stuff from Eddie today.

Some of the highlights:
* Integers (the less said the better)
* He can open the number lock of his locker in less than 4 seconds. His locker was surprisingly neat.

The lockers

* He buys his lunch in a ridiculously overpriced school cafeteria! (Evil men making tons of money of children’s’ pocket money).
* He can make a debit/credit excel worksheet and keep track of his income, making it add and subtract the added posts all by itself.


But what I thought was the nicest one of all is – and this is the first time I hear about it - that he can assemble (and disassemble) a trombone, read notes, and actually play a piece of music with the instrument, and quite well too! So here’s a big hurray for Eddie and his music teacher! Thank you Carol! Here’s my future musician.

Met een trombone de Red Hot Chilli Peppers en de Crahs Test Dummies achterna? Die kant gaat het wel op.
