Stringless

Posted on January 17th, 2010 in daily parenting

For Christmas Roman had a simple gift request for me Santa Claus: BRING ME A GUITAR, PLEASE!

Why dear child, how could I Santa NOT grant your wish, and make ALL your musical dreams come true? Especially after the following promises were made in the back alley kitchen over a plate of Strawberry Pop Tarts and a Batman cup filled with Berry flavored Juicy Juice: I WILL PLAY MY GUITAR. I WILL TAKE CARE OF MY GUITAR. I WILL NOT LOSE MY GUITAR. MY GUITAR WILL BE MY FRIEND. THE END.

Handshake.

ROMAN AND THE GUITAR

And so the story SHOULD end. Roman sitting on the staircase, slowly strumming his guitar, thinking of his future as the next Lenny Kravitz or Jimi Hendrix.

Oh, the good life.

But we all know that REAL dreams ARE NOT made of sugar and spice and all that’s nice.

That’s little girls.

Real dreams.

Little boy dreams – ARE made of mud pies and snakes.

Frogs and snails, and puppy-dogs tails.

AND.

Rusty handlebars and STRINGLESS GUITARS.

  16. Any decent guitar performer knows that after a good show your rip your strings out, smash the guitar into the wall and burn the stage. Go Roman!
