The Miss has just started pretty much the same Yamaha creative music class that Rockstar did, albeit hers is with a teacher she’s had for a previous toddler class…
(Rockstar looks grim, doesn’t he? Read on to find out why…… :D)
Obviously, siblings are not exactly welcome all the time in class, unless they are either completely quiet or else have erm, a positive effect on the child whose class it is. The (very few) times Rockstar gate crashed due to last minute cancelations in his own activities schedule, the Miss is usually eager to show him just how “good” she is….. Until now.
Rockstar: <whispering furiously> Why aren’t you doing anything?? It’s your turn! You’re supposed to do the “elephant noise”!
Miss: <calmly, loudly> Elephants don’t make this sound.
Rockstar: <still whispering> What? What are you talking about, it’s your cue. Wait, you missed your cue again! Play the bells.
Miss: <still not bothering to whisper> No.
Rockstar: <whispering> What no? You want to get us kicked out of class issit?
Miss: It’s not an elephant sound.
Me: It’s the elephants’ turn. You’re supposed to be an elephant.
Miss: <patiently> No this is not an elephant. <makes eye contact with teacher who is glancing over> Elephants don’t sound like bells.
You know, Miss Rockstar is correct there. Elephants don’t sound like bells. The teacher can’t fault her for that. So what happened in the end? Did she play the bells? Did the teacher say/do anything?
😀 she has been moved right to the front of the class which I think was a very diplomatic solution to her keeping up English running commentary throughout Canto music class
The teacher was moving about the (pretty full) class, and so happened when he was near her she was obediently quiet.. The song ended when he was coming back..
Previous week she was fine being a squirrel with a castanet when Rockstar wasn’t around so of course he is now taking this personally.
