When You Look At It That Way

Manlier Already

*Emma*

I've told you about my friends, my funny moments, and pet peeves. Now, I'm going to tell you about something I love.

That would be BAND! Band is my life. When I come home, I go right to my music stand. It's all I ever talk about; I'm always annoying my friends and family.

So, a few days ago, we got our Christmas music. There's a snare solo at one point, and Johnny was the one who had to play it.

Frankly, it was pretty wimpy. I grimaced; I could tell that he was about to get a public humiliation smack-down. My band teacher, Mrs. Schnall, is always getting on to SOMEONE. If she didn't, I think I'd have a heart attack.

So, anyways, she glared at Johnny jokingly. "You can do better than that, Johnny. Hit that drum! Hit it like a man!!"

Us flutes, being the flutes (Yes, I play the flute. :)), immediately burst into laughter.

He hit the snare (like a man), as the flutes giggled.

"See," said Mrs. Schnall, "The flutes think you're already manlier!"

We giggled again, as Peter, who also plays the flute, blushed furiously. Poor Peter. Poor, poor Peter.
