"Dude," I said. "What are you doing?"
He grinned. "You know how you always say, 'money is flying out the door'?"
"Yes."
"Well, I'm making it really fly out the door. Watch!"
He opened the front door and set a few of his planes into motion.
Yep. That was watching money fly out the door!
Now, for a little something extra: I shared this video clip from my recital with my Facebook friends, but I thought there might be some of you who aren't on Facebook, who might like to see it. This is from the Schubert "Arpeggione" Sonata in A minor. Allen Baston is the pianist.
Get a big net for that money in case he does it again!
ReplyDeleteGreat recital.. wow.. amazing talent
Yes. I absolutely need to find a big net!
DeleteThanks about the recital!
Wow, Sherry, that was beautiful! I am not on F-book and therefore I thank you very much for remembering to post your video here on your blog for people like me. I played drums in elementary and high school but I always wished I could play an instrument that makes people cry. (Well, my drum playing did make my parents cry after wasting all that money on lessons. :) No kidding, you are lovely and talented and I thoroughly enjoyed your performance. :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's better that Bubba made airplanes out of dollar bills rather than using them to light his cigars, don't you think? :)
Enjoy your week, dear friend Sherry!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the clip! I had a lot of fun performing at my recital.
DeleteYes, I agree, it is much better that Bubba makes airplanes rather than cigars!
Enjoy your weekend!
Tell him your money doesn't need any help.
ReplyDeleteThat was very haunting - well done!
Haha! He needs to figure out how to make money multiply. That would be much better.
DeleteThanks for the nice comment!
Loved the recital and I love the antic's of your son.
ReplyDeleteYvonne
Glad you enjoyed the clip. And yes, my son is always entertaining.
DeleteThe recital sounded incredible... great job xox
ReplyDeleteYour son is funny, he really takes everything literally xox
Thank you!
DeleteI don't think my son has grasped the concept of figurative speech.
As a passer by, I would be catching those airplanes made of money:) Your audition piece is beautiful, Sherry. You played fantastically. You are amazingly talented. I also liked the dress. Very classy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Murees. I like the dress, too. :)
Deletelol doesn't bills take care of that already?
ReplyDeleteTalented indeed at your feed.
Yes, indeed. I don't need any more money flying out the door!
DeleteGreat story and I loved your recital piece on facebook and am happy to listen to it again here!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
DeleteDid he run after the paper airplanes later?
ReplyDeleteI ran after them! ;0)
Delete'Letting money fly out of door is like surrendering yourself to remain poor.' Tell that to your son to prevent him playing with money like that...
ReplyDeleteMy son was joking. It was a few dollars - not enough to get upset about.
DeleteWhen I first saw the title of the post, I thought, "Oh she must have had a typo! I wonder what she's going to saw about a flying monkey." Nothing, apparently, because I was very wrong. 😅
ReplyDeleteHaha! No. It was money.
DeleteLoving your recital. Now I just need to track you down on FB in the hope of finding similar.
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy. I'm glad you found me on FB, and that we connected!
DeleteHis money will fly away soon enough
ReplyDeleteNo kidding!
DeleteHilariously brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThat's my boy!
Deletecomgrats on the recital! Did Bubba survive it without falling asleep or doing some shenanigans?
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't there. None of my family was. They don't like classical music. :(
DeleteBeautiful music!
ReplyDeleteI hope he went and picked them up after his literal display. ;)
He did. I made sure of it.
DeleteLove the money airplane story. Sherry, you play so beautifully. Love that piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love that piece, too.
DeleteWhile cute, I won't lie...there would definitely be yelling involved if this happened in my house.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty laid back. I don't yell about much. But when I do, look out!
DeleteI sure do hope you had him go pick those suckers up! Jeez haha
ReplyDeleteI sure did!
DeleteI hope Bubba retrieved all the money airplanes! Your recital was magnificent. I"m sure you got rave reviews. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun at my recital. I loved playing with the pianist, Allen Baston.
DeleteCareful! Next he'll be lighting bills on fire to watch your money go up in smoke. ;-P
ReplyDeleteBeautiful playing!
I'd better keep a close eye on him!
DeleteThank you!
You play so beautifully, Sherry. I got goosebumps! I think your Bubba needs to get a job to recognize the value of money. LOL :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYes, as soon as he's 16, he's getting a job!
I watched that video clip on facebook and loved it. I should have said something, but it was a crazy day. (Aren't they all?) Your son reminds me of my Random.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes. Bubba can be random - just like Random. ;0)
DeleteMoney does seem to fly. What a treat to see the recital.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the clip.
DeleteGorgeous music. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHehe about the airplanes. My daughter loves making airplanes. Hopefully she doesn't get any ideas. :D
You'll have to keep an eye on her!
DeleteLoved the music. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBTW, money should fly in the door not out!
Thank you.
DeleteI'm with you - I will take all the money I can get flying in!
You are very, very talented. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
