When I was still a small child, bouncing and bubbling with joy, my mother decided that I had to do something more than just hopping, so she enrolled me in accordion lessons. In my class, we were ten students. My colleagues didn´t play that bad. I, on the other hand, didn´t play that well.

The end of the year arrived and with it, the school´s annual festival. I wanted a sick leave, but my mother didn´t allow it. I went with all the others.

I was a lousy player because I didn´t pay attention in class. I used to spend the entire lesson amazed at the enormous Adam's apple of my professor (it was big!), and I never learned anything.

I think in all my musical life, the festival was the only time I didn´t think about that damn Adam´s apple. I was too much afraid to think about anything else than that terrific public in front of me, all smiling.

Oowww! That sounds pretty scary to me!! But, as always, It's never that worse as you imagin. In Dutch we say: "De soep wordt nooit zo heet gegeten als zij wordt opgediend". The translation is probably very strange, haha! Yes, the Adam's apple... It's a funny thing!
@The Original Enrique I didn´t like the accordion. So, my attention was in every other places... and then I saw that damn thing! I had never seen in my living years such a huge thing!

I think it's a difficult thing to play, the accordeon... But when you can play it, you can do nice things with it ! We would like to have someone playing with our folk band !
@enigma Nowadays I also find it beautiful. but it´s too late, now😉
y sra. Paula sigue teniendo pesadillas con esa nuez de Adán

🤣 Great story, and really well told too! Kids notice all these little things, it's crazy how much of an impact they have when we're young. Perhaps they do impact us even now, as adults, though adults won't often admit to that 😁
@Adriana Yes, adults are ashamed of letting petty things affect them so much😀
When I was a kid, I just loved to perform in the weekly closer hahaha. Every class has to do something by turn, and when our class was the one, I always voluntared to perform 😉 But when you we're so disctracted by his adams apple, I can imagizine that it was very hard to do hahaha
@DiaantjesLife 🦋 I was so distracted because I didn´t like accordion. 😉
