On Saturday, I was in a chamber music concert. So, I told pretty much everyone I know - including my school quartets - that it was on. To the juniors, I gave flyers as I don't have all their email addresses just yet. Last week, then - after the obligatory "Let's scare the life out of our teacher as she arrives" - there were clamouring voices.
Girls: Ooh, ooh - we're coming to your concert! - Oh yeah, we're coming too!
Violin 1: My mum wants to go, so I get to go too!
Viola: My mum? She just wants to know a couple of things? Here! She wrote down the questions on the form. Answer the questions! [I wrote down answers] So, last night, I practiced... [pause]
Me: Um... that's great! [I really thought there was going to be more of that sentence]
Viola: Yeah. [nodding vigorously] Oh! Yeah, that's when I saw the note. And showed it to her. [very excited] So we should be coming, because mum and dad really want to go!
