So, the wife has our kids playing piano. Our place has two recitals a year, ~100 kids get up and play for like 30 seconds and we all clap. But this place needs some scheduling advice.
Last year, what was the date of the Fall recital you ask? On the day of the Florida football game!!! So of course I was like HELLLL NAH! But we had to argue about it. My wife even told my sister when she was in town (my sister HATES sports) so I would be peppered with scorn for being such a terrible father. But, I put my foot down and it was obviously worth it. And, my kids played at the Spring recital, no harm, everybody wins!!!
So, the calendar is turning to Fall again, and on what date does this place schedule their Fall recital? On the day of the South Carolina football game!!! Isn't everybody in Knoxville taught to check the football schedule before scheduling events? And they don't even schedule it on the date of some cupcake game but for Florida/USCjr!
Now I'm right back in the trenches, aargh!
