BEST DAY...WORST DAY

Once upon a time, in a small town located in Arizona there lived three boys and two girls. Their momma loved them so very much that she found a wonderful piano teacher who would come right to their home and teach them piano every Tuesday night.

Unfortunately there were times when the lovely piano teacher would have to see unnecessary drama created by the three boys and two girls.

On a beautiful, breezy Tuesday afternoon during the month of April the mother of these five children could hear the gentle sound of piano fill the air and her heart swelled...she smiled all along the way as she finished her chores.

Suddenly the gentle sound of piano was abruptly replaced with the horrific cries of her two girls which echoed through the backyard. The concerned mother apologized to the piano teacher for the interruption and rushed to the back door to check on her two girls. As the panicked mother swung open the back door she was greeted by two slumpy, red faced, teary eyed girls who seemed to let out a most desperate cry, walking right past their mother as if she weren't even there.

The panicked mother began to scan the backyard, looking for the cause of this sudden anguish. To her dismay she found her two sons holding pellet rifles giving each other high five, a dead lizard at their feet and a bird falling to its death. As she made eye contact with her two sons their grins were quickly erased and no words were spoken.

In the faint background she could hear two quivering voices utter, "How could they do such a thing to the poor little lizard?"

The calm mother walked over to the two boys, collected their weapons and ushered them to their room to await their fathers arrival.

And just like that the piano teacher simultaneously heard the boys announce "this was the best day ever!" and the girls announce "this was the worst day ever!"
