My 23-month-old daughter, Molly, and I were talking about musical instruments recently, and I asked her if she wanted to learn to play the trombone like her mom (who has a master's in trombone performance and who was a band director for 10 years...), and Molly emphatically replied "No!"

I asked her what she wanted to learn to play, and she responded enthusiastically with "Pipes!"

Made me proud. (Here she is dancing to the pipe tunes at the San Antonio Highland Games in April...)
