No that's not the sound of the latest musical instrument added to the household (although Mike and Lucas did just leave the house to pick up a snare drum from the boys' honorary Godmother...thanks a bunch Lynn!). The latest sonic anomaly to hit our house and the neighborhood is the dueling set of stereos the boys unearthed today.
Lucas inherited his from his sisters as they left for college. This didn't worry me so much as his room is downstairs and fairly well soundproofed (ha!). Eli who was feeling a little left out of the music world and has developed a new appreciation of all music as long as it's earsplitting, turned his mournful little face in my direction and that of my unused kitchen cd/radio and therefore acquired his stereo system.
Then they decided that it would be a good idea to start their own collection of cd's. Guess what is more excruciating than the Lego aisle of Target.....the cd aisles of Target. Couple that with their total lack of knowledge about who sings what and what is appropriate music in their parents view vs. their friends and you have 30 minutes that will never be put back into my day.
Arriving home both boys went to their respective rooms, put in the cds and proceeded to chase the dog out of the house, their dad into a coma and me wondering why I thought it was important for them to learn an appreciation of music. One good point....they didn't argue with each other this afternoon and by evening they were both deaf to the point that they ignored one another.
