day 143 - chillen with good vibrations

I am three feet from a bass drum tonight at my sons 7th grade band concert I thought cool chillen pick! - it was not bad until the marching band came in and the drummer pushed it less than a foot away and played IT! - I will tell you that sitting that close to a BASS drum give a whole new meaning to GOOD VIBRATIONS LOL --

I also realized that we parents lie so often to our children based on the perception of them doing good - See I was listening to the concert and realized there is no way to pin point your child's playing in a school band but at the end we all say YOU DID SO GOOD! we don't really know if they did or not but we want to believe the flat and sharp notes we hear did not come from our child! I know we can not tell them well you did ok I guess that would be wrong might be true but still wrong -

 I love the fact that my son is playing in band and football makes him well rounded _ or so I think - but the point is we lie or maybe just perceived parent truth I suppose make things sound better -- LOL -- well stay chilled --
