Upside down world

It’s just wrong. That’s not how it should happen.

A couple of hours ago I was mixing some music on my PC for a school concert. It involved cutting down a few songs from CD to suit the planned programme.

James sat down near by with some homework and asked if I could make it a bit quieter.

Surely something is wrong when the child asks the parent to turn music down. I’m sure it’s meant to be the other way around.

It’s not the first time either. Emily has asked me to turn music down when I’ve been listening to a favourite CD on the stereo.

I think I’ve got some serious teaching to do so that my kids can enjoy music at intolerably loud levels like kids should.
