The Garden Hose Music Story

We have a very short garden hose - I think it's fifteen feet from end to end. One fine day I discovered that if I put my lips to the female end, I could blow a big flatulent note through the tube. Like a bugle - blowing harder engaged a higher harmonic. So I got not half bad at yodeling out of this thing like some sort of lovestruck moose.
After the concept was tested and approved by some older babysat kids - I decided that the Helenator was old enough to get a kick out of my hortimusical stylings. So I've got my end of the hose ready and when she grabbed the other end to inspect it - I gave a gentle blat through it. This startled and then utterly delighted her.
And seeing a toddler truly ROFL is one of life's pure pleasures.
Now her favorite thing after I've tried and failed to attract migrating tuba players - she puts the small end of the hose in her mouth and tries to make the daddy noise. It doesn't really work for her, so all that comes out of my end is some tiny breathing sounds. I'll wait for her lips to unseal so she can take a breath - then I send a tiny phwamph through to tickle her teeth. She hasn't once failed to break into laughter when I did that.
