Day 7.259: Always gonna be good

Sometimes when the kids say or do things that remind us of ourselves we cringe a little. Sometimes we cringe a lot.

But sometimes we smile.

E5N1 has been playing the piano a lot recently. Mostly just making increasingly melodious sounds playing by ear. Sometimes reading some of the beginners music and sometimes composing music using his own numeric notation.

Today he walked to the school bus with Exile #4. He has not been doing that recently but rather going with one of us to the stop at the other end of the street because of some issues with his behaviour at the stop and on the bus. At the vital moment this morning we were both unavailable so they just went together. Then we found this song sheet on the kitchen counter:

Sadly, my knowledge of his musical notation does not allow me to reconstruct the music, but the words are as follows:

Always gonna be gooooood
Oh yeah. Even walk down the road
Because I is always good.*

And, as far as we know he was.




* Update - Exile #2 pointed out that it probably said "It's always good" and E5N1 read it that way today - then corrected it to "I'm" with a red pen he'd found on the beach
