That definitely reminds me of my little sister (she's 12) last night.

She's a percussionist in middle school band who also plays marimba with the high school and is extremely musically talented. Her band director plays bass in a local band, and occasionally plays instruments along with them when they're practicing. She and I had this conversation yesterday.

SISTER: Sometimes he'll play marimba with me, or he'll pick up the trumpet. But when he really wants to show off, he'll play the guitar with us while we play.

ME: Guitar? I didn't know he played guitar, too.

SISTER: Yeah! He played it at the band concert.

ME: Wait. That was a bass.

SISTER: No. No, it's a guitar.

ME: How many strings did it have?

SISTER: Four, but I think he broke off the high strings to make it easier to play with us.

ME: Um.
