did they sew a Terminator hand on this girl?

The shutters look like piano keys!

One time I was actually 7 weeks old.

If she hates flute that much, maybe she ought to switch to tuba.

But you’re still going for baroque.

Her sling is on the wrong side…LOL!

When, at age 14 I broke both bones in my right arm it was no piano lessons for six weeks. That changed to no piano lessons forever when it turned out they put my arm back on off by ten degrees.

Ian Anderson’s daughter!

Not a budding first seat floutist huh? No matter. Let me sign your cast, pleeese.

You broke your arm playing a flute ? Dang !

There is usually an upside to every event!

Just get your money back for the flute. The lessons are wasted.

Flute… the most dangerous instrument in the band!

Many a teenager has been injured and maimed by the one instrument that can wreck havoc and cause more destruction than an entire marching band!

Until one day, along came the horrors of…

… the Piccolo!!

Well, a fat lip would solve that, too…

And no writing…if she’s right handed

She may get another break in 6 months.

There goes the embouchure

From the looks of you two, no dates or interest the rest of your ugly lives!

She’ll forget everything that she’s learned in those 6 weeks…

It’s funny because it’s so true!
