Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 13, 2013

Big brother’s are so loving…

A is also the first letter in annoy, agitate, aggravate, abrade…

Awww! (“Awww” also begins with an A; so does “also” and the word “angel” in your Little Angel tee-shirt, Alice!) So does “adore,” as in “Alice adores her A-note big brother”!

@PacopuddyI think that’s his music on the floor. Oboes don’t generally require spit pans, I think, although oboists do seem to spend a lot time running cloths through the instrument.

“A” is a good note for Petey to be working on. It’s the one the principal oboist usually gets the honor of playing for the rest of the orchestra before every performance.

Are we starting an A list?

Sure Alice. It’s all about you.

I didn’t know you could bend an oboe. I also didn’t know Alice was strong enough to do that in the first place! :-D

Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall..

I’m thinking that probably-Aspergerish Petey is worried about himself getting bent.
