Sour note
She had been warned. Daddy told her to stop jumping around. Daddy tried to get her to calm down. Daddy tried to get his trombone out the way...but not before darling daughter fell and sat down heavily on one end of his trombone case - his soft sided trombone case. (...heavy sigh...)
Wah-wah-waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Little girl is fine – the trombone, not so much. The bell of the horn was bent slightly downward. Thankfully – it was fixable. The guy at the music store did a quick fix job (no charge) so it is now at least playable. We’ll have to do a full fix job later. It was a relief to hear. There's no way we could afford to replace his trombone right now - estimates run as high as $1,800.
Little girl is going to “pay” daddy back by doing jobs around the house. Hooray for child labor!

Doesn't every mom feel like she's spinning in circles? A blog with a little bit of everything - politics, religion, family, Iowa, pop culture, scrapbooking, books, travel, work, clowning, stupid stuff and whatever else I decide to write about...oh, and don't forget Des Moines! There's always something to do around here. All I ask is when you say "Des Moines," please don't pronounce the "S."
About Me
- Des_Moines_Girl
- I live and work in Des Moines. My friends think I'm opinionated. I've also been told I have an odd sense of humor and a strange way of looking at the world. Well - all the better to write a blog. Most recently, I have started clowning as a hobby. As a newly minted “Joey,” I am still learning the ropes - working on my magic tricks, gags and balloon twisting. Clowning adds yet another dimension – a wacky and fun one - to my already busy life.
Terror Alert!

That's the best way to teach them! My daughters are old enough to earn an allowance, so they get hit in the wallet when they destroy something. Really brings the point home.
yikes! I'm glad it is still playable. Are repairs less costly than replacement?
Ooof! Toddlers are WMDs, really.
Hey, my wife's first thought was the same as mine: yikes! :-)
Yeah, those music habits are expensive, aren't they?
Hey Barb! - Agreed! And it's never too early to start teaching them responsibility.
Marie - Still playable now that the repair guy tweaked it. Still needs more work but it's okay for now.
ND - you said it! You should know with your own little Shock and Awe running around your house. ;-)
Quipper! - Have to admit, "Yikes!" wasn't the first word to come out of Hubby's mouth when he saw the damage but the sentiment was the same. ;-)
