Seriously though, have him continue with piano, then take up bodybuilding. In the future, when anyone disses him, he can hit them hard---with the piano.

Maybe that's just hindsight and projection on my part, so never mind.

Seriously, seriously:

When you're 25 and you find yourself at a party, and no one knows you play, and there's a piano, and then you sit down and play, play well, anything, your chances of "everything" go way up. People really do understand what discipline and time it took to learn how to do that. Learning music helps your academic performance, too.

One thing's for sure, "girl" really are better spellers.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
