It’s Spring Concert Time! My nephew’s elementary school had its annual extravaganza letting us parents and loved ones know what their kids have been up to.

Every Monday, I have dropped my nephew off to Brookside Elementary with his alto saxophone in tow, picked up the same sax at afterschool because he forgot about it; and as recent as this morning, had venture back to his school because he left his at home.

So I had to sit through another one of these shows. While I was and am proud of Cydney and him at these events, I still have to sit through other kids’ crap. Luckily, I have my phone, Twitter, and a following of people wo have enjoyed me tweeting through these experiences. So without further ado, here we do again…

And now to tweet through my nephew's spring concert.

I think that was my nephew squeaking through the song. He found the loophole into having a solo.

Someone's child is beginning to have a fit. And it blends in with the orchestra.

One of the kids from my baseball team is in the orchestra…with a keyboard. But I don't hear him. The keyboard is placebo.
