MRS. MCKINLEY AND THE POTATO CHIP
I have an older sister. On the night that she got her recorder from school, she would not stop “playing” her recorder. I put “playing” in quotation marks because what she was doing to that recorder was more like torture. We had been watching “It’s a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on the TV while sitting on the floor. There was a great big bowl of potato chips sitting in between the two of us. During every commercial (back then you had to watch the commercials), my sister would blow into her recorder. I finally got so fed up with it that I took a potato chip and stuffed it down the top of the recorder. Her recorder would not work until my mother soaked the recorder in water and the potato chip disintegrated.
Moral of the Story:
Make sure that you find a place in your home where you can practice and not bother other people. You never know when they might be carrying around a bag of potato chips!
