Tonight was Sam's eighth grade guitar concert. Myself, Tika, Kris and Sam went out for some Thai at Burapa in Lansdowne before the concert - we always enjoy their food. This night Sam and Tika had curry dishes while myself and Kris had chicken dishes. At one point Sam was fooling around, as usual, and started mentioned about counting her alphabet (she had been washing her hands and used the old wash as you say the entire alphabet). It made us chuckle so Sammy started "counting" the alphabet - 1 A 2 B 3 C etc ... and she only missed one or two - LOL. At one point Tika asked her what number S was so Sam thought for a second and came back with 20. Tika was a bit surprised and asked Sammy how many letters were in the alphabet, knowing Sammy counted back from Z. Sammy quickly said 27 and the next thing I knew Tika was laughing so hard she had curry in her nose. Given that it was a hot curry it was less than comfortable but we all laughed - even Tika.
BTW - Sam does know how many letters there are - it turns out Sammy just had a Civics test and was thinking of the number of amendments to the constitution.
Well after dinner it was off to the concert. We met their Mom there and got situated for the quick concert. I managed to get a few videos of the concert:
- This is of one of the other girls in the 8th grade who did a solo of a Dixie Chicks song - sorry that it is askew I am trying to fix
- This video is Sam's class doing a suite of international pieces
- Finally this is Sam's guitar teacher's version of Little Drummer Boy
Sammy did a great job - worry she was in the third row so I could not see her.
OK - off to bed for me
