N10 decided he also wanted to start an instrument this year. Now, N10 isn't your average kid. He is, to say it in the nicest way, the youngest eccentric I have ever met.
ec·cen·tric [ik-sen-trik, ek-] –adjective
1. deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice, etc.; irregular; erratic; peculiar; odd: eccentric conduct; an eccentric person.
2. a person who has an unusual, peculiar, or odd personality, set of beliefs, or behavior pattern.
In other words, this is my son. Even with with 3 brothers, he most often preferes to play alone. On the playground at school, while you see most kids in groups playing on the monkey bars, or kicking a ball around, my son is sitting alone, digging in dirt. He is oblivious to his lack of social skills, and quite possibly the happiest child I know. He exudes confidence. But back to the topic at hand. N10 wants to play an instrument. It of course can't be a simple instrument like J10, who plays a saxaphone. No, N10 will choose his instrument the way he choses everything in life, by deciding he needs the largest, and most obnoxious instrument he can think of. N10 wants to play the sousaphone. It is larger than N10, by far. Unfortunatly for him, it is a marching band instrument, and in 5th grade that makes it not an option. So in the end N10 has choosen the Cello. Not quite bigger than him, but almost. I guess it could be worse...M8 is already asking for a drum set....
