WOW, what a heavy schedule. Secretary General of the Model U.N.? I have to admit I never heard of the Model U.N. AND swim team, AND the band? I think he's got enough to do.

I wasn't into sports when I was a kid, and my interests in music were strictly as a consumer. I did play the french horn in band for a while, but gave it up, sometimes I wish I had stuck with it. Looking back on it, my problem was that my first instrument was the baritone, which my father already owned, and so I learned to read the bass cleff, and then got tired of lugging it, so I switched to the clarinet, which is treble cleff, because my uncle owned one, and when I finally got to play the french horn, which is alto cleff, I was really confused, and had a hard time sight-reading. Of course, I probably wasn't cut out to be a professional musician, anyway, I talk too much.

This reminds me of my soon-to-be 6 year old:

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't, dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice, "The big sissy."
