The other day, my daughter and I were making cookies. My daughter was in charge of operating the mixer. She began at a low speed and then moved up to a higher speed. In the process, she started a little rhythm. She played around with it and started bobbing her head.
Hmm. I thought. This could get interesting. I grabbed a wooden spoon and started my own rhythm on the mixing bowl. We had a real groove going.
Then my son came in. Of course he wanted to get in on the action, so he grabbed a couple of stainless steel spoons and started clanging them together. It was complete cacophony.
"Bubba, what are you doing?" my daughter asked.
"Same thing you are," he said. "Making noise!"
Scratch musician off the list for Bubba. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteActually, I think Bubba may have a musician gene. I think our "music" wasn't exactly music to his ears!
DeleteI agree with, Alex. Spoons clanging together is way hard on the ears.
ReplyDeleteIt sounded like the Blue Man group, or maybe Stomp. ;0)
DeleteI guess Bubba won't get in the Guinness Book for Best Rhythm Artist.
ReplyDeleteIf he does, it won't be with kitchen appliances!
DeleteBubba might want to stick to getting in the record book
ReplyDeleteYep. And not by making music.
DeleteMake music wherever you are and whatever you're doing! Fun.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was!
DeleteNoise? Music? I guess it is subjective. :) Sounds like fun!

It was a little hard on the ears, but it was fun!
DeleteFun times. At least he was honest...
ReplyDeleteYou can always count on him for that!
DeleteHowever one makes music it's fun, spoons or guitars.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Hi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteA kitchen cacophony. The stuff of musical dreams! :)
Gary
Absolutely!
DeleteMusic is in the ear of the one who hears it. I guess bubba didn't inherit that trait from you like his sister did.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he has a more refined taste in music. ;0)
DeleteMethinks Anna Kendrick has a video and a song in this very same way
ReplyDeleteYes. I think the cup song was probably way better than our kitchen mixer - spoon rendition!
DeleteSome day Bubba will be a famous musician, and we'll all say, Remember when . . . ?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Haha! Wouldn't that be funny?
DeleteHe genius is just not yet understood, lol.
ReplyDeleteBrandon Ax: Writer's Storm
er..His* lol
DeleteHis genius is in his imagination!
DeleteLOL. One man's music is another mans...
ReplyDeleteClassic.
I can't have music in the kitchen. I barely know what I'm doing as is. If I have music, I'll be more concerned with a concert than whatever I'm supposed to be doing.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I don't know what I'm doing, either. I've been trying to figure it out for the past 20 years. ;0)
DeleteLOL, I guess music is in the eye of the beholder, too ;)
ReplyDeleteOr the ear! ;0)
DeleteEither way, FUN!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was young, my life was pretty chaotic. I ended up divorcing his father when he was four. There really weren't many moments like this. It sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteNow that my son is an adult, we sometimes cook together.
Sounds like your life was tough! Maybe if you have grand kids, you can have some kitchen fun.
DeleteThe Ellis Percussion Trio? Has a certain ring? No? LOL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Maybe we can get our own gig in Vegas. ;0)
DeleteAw, that is just like a brother isn't it. "Noise? I'm in?"
ReplyDeleteLittleCely from LittleCely's Blog
The more noise, the better!
DeleteMusic is in the ear of the beholder, methinks.
ReplyDeleteVery true!
DeleteOf course he was... music... noise.. same difference.
ReplyDeleteHa! Right. In the kitchen, it's all the same!
DeleteLOL, noise versus music. Maybe he can be more rhythmic next time.
ReplyDeleteI need to go take him to see Stomp. Then he'll get the idea. ;0)
DeleteHaha, I think as long as they're having fun.,noise or music, it doesn't matter. Unless it rocks the neighborhood then wooden spoon for Bubba in the meantime. :)
