The competition
The other day, my daughter was sitting at the piano. She would play a few notes (major seconds), stop, pick up the pencil, and scribble on the magazine sitting on the music stand. Then she'd repeat the process. And again. And again. I asked her what she was doing "Writing music." was her response. The funny thing is, I don't write at the piano. She probably hasn't seen me do that in about a year (she turned 2 in April).
We also taught her her first joke today: What is brown and sticky?
A stick.
I think it is funnier than she does.
You want a podcast? How about two...
