The Piano

1. Hearing my ex-husband trying to woo his current wife into this century by extolling the breadth of internet porn.
   
2. Translating my dad's story of serving as an altar boy into something my heathen daughter and her boyfriend could understand.
3. Inability to carry a tune thoughtfully provided by paternal DNA.
4. Gregorian chants sung by non-paternal humans.
5. Memories of my mom singing, and all the music she brought to us.
