overheard in a private lesson

"So, what are you guys working on?"

"We got a bunch of Christmas music this week."

"Yeah, it is that time, isn't it? Okay, let's see. [papers rustling] Hmm... 'Coventry Carol'... written out in pencil... and then photocopied. Awesome. Okay. A medley, that’s nice... wait, what’s this? 'Jingle Bells Forever'? [Pause.] This is... a combination of 'Jingle Bells' and 'Stars and Stripes?'"

"Um. Yeah."

"...Why would you do that?"

"I... I don't really know."

"Right. Okay. We... won't be working on that one. Ever."

"Yeah, I don’t blame you."
