Overheard

During tonight's piano practice. Lu: I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GONNA GET IT. I'm HORRIBLE. EVEN YOU PLAY BETTER THAN ME. To play this right, I am going to have to play OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER [bangs a gloomy low note for emphasis]...

Milo barks in the background as he pushes a toy shopping card toward the bathroom, intent (as I later discover) on putting a load of toys in the toilet.

Lu: STOP HIM. I am telling you — I need no noise! NO NOISE! ARRRGGGHH.
