Hoo Doo

Hoo Doo you do?

Here's a blurry shot of my piano-playing eldest child.


She's a maestro in an Emo's body.

I send her off once-a-week with a $30.00 cheque to pay her piano teacher.


This morning I discovered two weeks' worth of $30.00 cheques under her bed.

So, I banned her from watching two weeks' worth of television.

So she left me this misspelt message of ill-fate.

    Your piano is very shiny and new looking. New pianos frighten me because of what my children might do to them. There has been a Nikko message on a post under our house for several years which reads "I hat mum". I think your emo should marry my emo and they can play duets on my spotty piano stool together.

    P.S. Did you tell her that you and the evil spirits are old friends and you taught them all they know?

    Kimmie,
    it's a laugh-a-minute until I discovered I'm battling head lice infestations on four fronts! Evil Spirits indeed!

    Annie,
    that's a Church piano. That's an endearing note, isn't it? Child One is now saying Child Two wrote the note, which may explain the spelling. And Child Two was the first with the head lice so maybe he did write the note.

    I wouldn't know whether to be upset about the message itself or the spelling. Perhaps she could re-write it one hundred times whilst not watching television.

    The evil spirits are coming and your eldest child may well be playing the accompanient!

    Oh no, lots of fun with lice,
    dear Carmel...?
    You have to be as thick as thieves against them!

    (And child one is 1. a child and 2. one... mercy!)

    May I give you a hug? a big 'from a mom to a other mom'-hug?
    Love,
    Ariane.

    Ariane,
    I'm glad there's lice in Germany! I thought we had a case of head lice once, but now I realise we didn't. I now realise what head lice is what it entails. All FOUR! I'm standing resolute against the evils.

    That is hilarious she certainly is spirited! But she's got it wrong...they are not evil spirits they are good blogging spirits that are coming and I know for a fact something good is going to be coming your way soon.....xx Katherine

    I wonder if those evil spirits take personal cheques?

  15. annieNovember 10, 2011 at 2:31 AM

    Maybe she's exorcising the evil spirits with the church piano!

    Dear Carmel,
    of course there are lice in Germany! I know it first hand... three children and - me, five years ago... My trick to give a name to yukky animals didn't suited: they were too much, I ran dry of names...
    Positive: minimalist rooms.
    x Ariane.

    Had you made the cheques out to cash?

    I was thinking the same thing as Zigsma. I betcha she's rich...have you checked the excursion and tuckshop money? Not a bad little operation she's got there. Too funny.
    And yes, I think good spirits are in order for you. xx

    Emo child is too funny. Are the lice the evil spirits? My laptop is broken so I'm around, I just can't type anything!
    Must be those evil spirits.

    my 18 year old brought home lice just a month ago! and i thought we were done with all that nonsense, sheesh. it just goes to show that, as mums, our jobs are never finished!
    nice piano teacher doesn't haggle you for unpaid teachings. maybe nice teacher should get a nice x-mas bonus?

    Too funny! I like that the teacher carried on teaching without question, maybe child 1 has been giving IOU's in lieu of stashed cheques.......
    I'd love to meet her in about 20 years and see what path she has taken - concert pianist or a life of crime. lol

    I'd say that that message was written by Child #2.
    If you read it as it's written, he is saying "Evil spirits are combing".
    So, phonetically, he's spot on.
    Why is it that you have all the fun?

    Too funny! Maybe child one can piano charm the lice out of the house ala the pied piper of hamlyn since thats how they got in?!

    Only one thing for the note. The offending child must write it 100 times correctly. And child 1 Should write esprit de corps 100 times for snitching. :-)
