Jazzercise

One of my kids asked me to come to his jazz band recital. Actually, I’d like to go. I know that sounds strange coming from me, but I just want to hear another noise come out of his mouth besides, “Screw this.”

Every time an assignment is given, every time notes are asked to be taken—a “Screw this.” Maybe he is trying to reach out. I don’t know, but let him do that with his behavior in the class. Then I’ll see about attending such things.

I ended up declining politely, but I was so tempted to use a, “Screw that!”
