Define "older" . . .

My sister Tammy recently decided to start taking piano lessons. It's something that she's always wanted to do so, since her kids are learning different musical instruments, she figured she'd jump in there with them and learn the piano. Since she's an adult, she was told to buy a book geared toward older beginners. In fact, it even says that on the cover . . .


So she was pretty excited to get started with her new OLDER BEGINNERS piano book. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand then she saw her first assignment . . .

So she borrowed crayons from her kids and completed her first big girl piano assignment. She thought it seemed a bit strange to have such a juvenile assignment but she figured that the rest of the book would be a little more geared to her age. So she turned the page to do her second assignment . . .


And her third . . .


I don't know what's funnier - the fact that these assignments are in her Older Beginners book or the fact that she's actually DOING them . . . crayons and all. That's just hilarious to me. But what's even more hilarious is that when I asked her about why she's actually doing these little assignments, she said: "Well, I have to get my sticker!"

Yes you do, Tammy. Yes you do!

A girl can never have too many stickers! And I would probably complete the assignments as well :-) And I am um..over 29 years old (or maybe over 39, but who's counting =D)

Hey, Catchy, those assignments look identical to the ones in my 5 y/o daughter's music theory book! WE love it when we get to the coloring assignments, too. She's still working towards her sticker, too.
