Smartie

Knowing how much effort Nicole puts in when it comes to practising her new pieces, I thought I wouldn’t inform her that her piano lesson was cancelled last week just so that she would continue practising as usual. I left the house at about 6pm and reminded Nicole to practise as I would fetch her for her lesson at 730pm. I rang her at 730pm.

Me “ Nicole, Ms X called me just now. She has to look after her daughter and therefore, today’s lesson is cancelled. Anyway, did you practise?”

Nic “ Oh good! Well, I did practise just a little”

Me “ What do you mean by “just a little” ?”

Nic “ Ms X told me that I would have no more lesson in July and she would see me in August, during my lesson last week. And I just checked the calandar, it is still July so I don’t have to practise yet!”

*faint*….Nicole, Nicole, you really have your way around things… :(
