Heres one !!

[Barbara Richmond]

Oh dear, was I pointing out someone's ignorance?

Nah.

I hear piano misunderstandings almost everyday and sometimes even the
simplest statement can be misunderstood.  Here's one that came back to bite
me:

Some time ago I was berating myself about a totally obvious flub-up I had
made during a service call (no, I'm not telling).  I was shocked and
embarrassed that I had overlooked such an obvious thing.  My seven year old
son heard me telling my husband about it and chimed in [remembering when I
talked to him about
taking piano lessons I had said something about how playing the piano makes
a person's brain work better, ahem  ;-)],   "Gee, Mom, I guess you haven't
been playing the piano enough lately, that's why you did something that
wasn't very smart!  Right?"

Stopped me in my tracks.  :-)
