Not-So-Passive-Aggressive Notes

When I was 9 years old, I had an argument with my mom about practicing piano.  It escalated until she made me go to my room and write her a letter, which we just unearthed:

Mom, I want to thank you for disregarding these declarations and continuing to boss me around, even though you were completely wrong about how long piano takes.

Happy Mother’s Day, got that?

Love, Drew.

    Did you write with your left hand as a kid lol?

  2. Kirkpad says:

    Holy moly, I wish my writing font was that stylish.

  3. The Clep says:

    I wish I could've written that neatly as a nine year old. Heck, I wish I wrote that neatly now!

  4. I wish I could've written that sassily when I was a nine year old.

    Well, everyone knows you don't get better after 13 minutes of practicing. You either reach your best around minute 8, or 10 000 km.

    Haha! That's great! :)

  7. Tim says:

    That's the angriest writing I've ever seen.

  8. Ralf says:

    Frankly, I think you had some valid points. The parent-child relationship isn't terribly reciprocal in terms of demands each can make and who's to say how long it would take for any given individual to play the piano?

    Look at you with your sassy, "Can't boss me around, I'm a grown up now," signature.

    My Dad would've beaten my ass if I'd showed that kinda g.. gall. Gaul. Guile? E. Honda.

    Anyway I assume he would've because I never did anything like that.. I did was I was told ;x

    .. defiance. that'll do.

    I love that it's written on graph paper. It's like you're flaunting the fact that you're better at math than your mom, and therefore obviously right about the duration of piano lessons.

  13. i take my kids for piano lessons because i want them to learn about playing the piano ::

  14. it does not take too long to learn good piano playing if you have a good piano lesson *~~
