I called my mother today, and proudly told her that her grandson had been issued a flute-o-phone during music time, and was learning to play this instrument. In between laughing so hard that she had to snuffle and wheeze, she inquired, "So, what performance of the symphony are you going to take him to so he can see it played?" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH"
I tried to explain that it is some kind of plastic hybrid recorder thingy, but by this time the only words I could make out between the "HAHAHAHHHHAHHAAAHHAHAs" was an occasional "flute-o-phone" and "bathroom".
All I can say, is that I am glad that I can laugh at this stuff- but then again, why can't our kids have real instruments?
