did i ever tell you about the time i took piano? i believe i was in 3rd grade. i took from a lady in our ward who lived just up the street. i was destined to be go at it, i had to be. or atleast thats what i told myself. i had to be good at something eventually. .. i took for about 7 months. three of those months were every wednesday after school. id take my piano bag and walk. the last 4 months were about the same. only instead of walking ten house lengths, id walk one. or across the street rather, to my friend breann's house. id take my piano bag along with the check for my lessons and 'leave for my lesson'. i had quit but was too ashamed to tell my mom. so, i faked it. i still practiced and talked about my 'lessons'. i pretty much had everyone fooled. i eventually figured out that it was much harder to take fake lessons than real ones. after about 4 months of fake lessons i watched my mom approach my teacher at church. my mom asked her why she wasnt cashing the checks that were being sent with me every month. busted. it was over. i wasnt ready to face my mom still so i snuck off to class while my teacher explained. i wont lie, it was a relief to stop faking piano. finally. you can bet my mom checked up on me at every hobby she paid for after that.
in the last few months ive thought about th piano a lot. i finally took a second to sit down and refresh my memory. I can't believe how much I remember! It feels so good!
