Practice

Nana has been teaching me to play the keyboard, I guess in the hopes that if I can learn to make my own music then "The Dude" will not have to sing anymore. I know that he tries his best but I am 90% sure that when Papa buys me a diamond ring to replace the mockingbird that won't sing, that the ring will not turn brown and force him to buy me a ballroom gown. That song just doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, "The Dude" says that if I keep making progress with my keyboarding and work on becoming a narcissist then he will ask mom to sew me a rhinestone tuxedo to wear at my first recital. Not sure what a narcissist is, but he says that the combination can lead to a lot of money. Apparently some guy who is immortalized in Las Vegas actually made a living off of playing this thing. Can you believe it? We all know that I can use the money after what happened to my college fund. Who gives money to a guy named "Made-off"?
