The other day a friend of mine brought over these small plastic busts of famous composers for me to possibly use during piano lessons. I had them lined up on the kitchen counter all day, and at one point Lucy stopped to study them. After a few minutes she said, "This one looks bored, this one looks mad, this one looks like he's watching a show, this one looks sad, and this one looks hungry."
I thought it was so funny, I had her repeat it so I could write down her descriptions. When I wrote "watching TV" for Chopin, she corrected me, "No Mom, it looks like he's watching A SHOW."
So there you have it.
I hope you've had a lovely weekend.

I'm laughing. So funny. Especially your title for this post!
I remember getting these from Mrs. Harvey as awards for the most practicing, improved, etc.--um, which means I only have one :)
I'm excited to hear how you use them in your teaching.
Lucy cracks me up!
We got these from my piano teacher, too! We also got performance "ribbons" that were so big they belonged around a horse's neck, and I only recently got rid of my box full of them a few years ago when my parents forced all the kids to clean our junk out of their house.
