My youngest daughter is in the seventh grade. She plays the Clarinet. She plays the Clarinet quite well and is in the school band. There are a number of concerts throughout the year and they are extremely enjoyable.
This morning, my phone rang at 7:10 AM. My daughter had forgotten her Clarinet. Consequently I needed to deliver said Clarinet because she has band at 8:20.
Off I go to McLaughlin Middle School, Clarinet in hand. Arriving at the school, I approach the door, push the button and am buzzed in…As I approached the front office desk to deliver the Clarinet…in its hard-sided case, it struck me…"Holy Crap…this looks like a hard-sided handgun case" Another Dad was there in the office and as I chuckled at the thought, I looked at the case and muttered that effect to which the other dad interjects, "Yeah! I was just thinking that very same thing!"
Funny world of ironies we live in…
