Just when I think I must have seen everything the internet has to offer, along comes a video<\/a> of a guy who carves a carrot into a clarinet. He plays it, and it sounds great to my unsophisticated MP3 tuned ears. <\/p>\n

It reminds me of when I was a kid and in kindergarten or preschool or something. One day we took a field trip, which consisted of walking to some guy’s house. This guy took a stick off a tree and carved it into a flute or whistle or something like that. Blew me away. I always wanted to be able to do that, but to this day, I’m not sure how he did it. <\/p>\n

Now, the thing you need to know about me to really appreciate this story is that I remember virtually nothing from my childhood. So, the fact that I remember this day at all is an indication of how deeply imprinted the experience was on my psyche. I don’t know why I remember that day out of all the days I’ve forgotten, but it really made a deep and lasting impact. I think the guy also braided some twine into a rope or something. I should really be able to do stuff like that. If a preschool teacher walked a bunch of kids over to my house, I’d have absolutely nothing cool to show them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
