when I was a kid I didn’t necessarily sit around and think of ways I could further push the boundaries of how loud and obnoxious one human child could be but opportunities seemed to come to me or at least I achieved them pretty easily
and one day I told my mom I wanted to play the bagpipes and instead of saying “no. you are already too powerful, too much for us all,” she said “woah me too!” and she found us a bagpipes teacher in a small town in ohio somehow and I got a chanter to learn on and it made THE most horrible sound and I was THRILLED.
however, a few months into my lessons, my teacher died of old age, and as hard as it is to believe, there aren’t many bagpipes teachers in small town Ohio.
anyway to this day I look back on me as a child and I have to Truly Believe that the universe intervened on behalf of every adult in my life at the time.
Either that, or those adults actually got together on a full moon and said to any wretched god that would listen “PLEASE do not let Molly Anne play the bagpipes, stop her no matter the cost”
