The weight of such instrument shall not entitle Child to a ride to or from school. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Child carries more than four school books on any given day, she shall be given a lift by a Parent to be selected in rotation, provided that Child establishes to said Parent's satisfaction that Child used said books within fifteen hours of said ride. Parents concede that Child's arithmetic book is unusually heavy and that it should count as two books in making the aforesaid textbook calculation. Child acknowledges that clarinet reeds are expensive and delicate and agrees to use them only for the purpose of emitting clarinet type sounds. In return for Parents' agreement to supply her with reeds, Child agrees not to chew them, bend them, or feed them to the dog.
Parents further agree to applaud with enthusiasm no matter how much their ears hurt.
Child promises that if she ever becomes a famous musician she will give Parents complete credit, especially when she accepts her first Grammy. All Rights Reserved. All Rights Reserved. Material may not be reproduced without prior written permission.
