It's around 10:15PM when I'm practicing a challenging piece for my upcoming recital. My mom comes into my room and points at her watch. "When it is 10:30PM, you have to stop practicing."
"Why?" I ask.
"Don't question it."
"Okay." I nonchalantly reply; I was completely baffled. I continue on practicing until 10:35PM. My mom stands outside by the door.
"It's time to stop. From now on, you should practice during the day."
