S is playing the cello

In 6th grade they do a string orchestra to introduce the kids to it before Junior High. S has been telling us for years that she wants to play the flute but they don’t do that until the summer. So since she wanted to participate we told her she could if she played the cello because the school lets you borrow one and then we didn’t have to rent one. She doesn’t like to carry the big old thing on the bus coming home, so I give her a ride whenever I can.
