Good old Goethe
8:37 p.m.
In between was my third-year student who will never be a singer, although she tries really hard, my other third-year student who is actually doing a half-recital this term (and we�re going to have to have two lessons per week to get them all done in time), a quick lunch, and my pay-as-he-goes guy whose ear I am trying to develop so that he can actually match pitches. I earned my keep today, believe me!
Thanks for all your thoughts on what I should say to my daughter. I have been thinking about how to start the conversation, since I don�t want her to think that I am snooping in her stuff, and I thought a good opener would be, �So I guess it�s no secret that you�re on the pill, since you left your garbage where I couldn�t help but find it. Do you want to talk about it?� or I could ask her in all innocence if she find�s that her acne is improving since she�s on the pill, or some such approach. The last thing I want to do is alienate her, or make her think that I disapprove. Believe me, I would much rather that she be on the pill than not if she and her BF are having sex. For sure! Ah, the joys of parenthood. The things they don�t prepare you for in pre-natal class!
