Violin Vs Choir Tour

9-yr-old boy, who doesn't like playing violin.  His dad comes to every lesson.

Dad: Now, next week there's a bit of a problem.  We won't be able to come to a lesson, because J will be on choir tour!
Me: Ooh, that's exciting.
Boy [whinging]: But I don't want to go on choir tour!
Dad: Well, I tell you what.  Next week, you don't have to come to violin.  How about that?
Boy: No!  Violin is much better than choir tour!
Me: Wow.
Dad: But - you've never been on a choir tour.  How would you know if you'll like it or not?
Boy: But I know I won't like it!  I want to do violin instead! [Really?  He must really not want to do this tour]
Dad: So maybe we should leave Toowomba really early on Saturday morning, and come back for a violin lesson, and then go back and join the tour again?

Poor kid.  Sounds like an awful weekend ahead for him.  Mwahahahaha.

A Joke in Choir

11-yr-old girl, thrilled that the school is now BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology).

Girl: Oh, in choir this morning, Mrs S told a really funny joke!...
Me: Ooh, what was it?
Girl [pauses]: Um... [looks sheepish] I was ... uh... looking at ... something... on my iPad... and kinda ... didn't hear it.
Me: I.. see...
Girl: Well, it was about this girl, and she's singing something with so - la - mi and I think it's her mum who's wondering why she's singing about salami... You know, solami/salami...? 

I should ask Mrs S what the actual joke was.
