I NEVER REALISED YOU CAN SOAK THEM IN WATER - Tumblr Posts

Can I tell a funny story real quick? Yes? Okay.

So I used to play the oboe, which if you don't know what that is, look up both it and oboe reeds real quick before reading the rest of this story. I was also in my middle school's pep band.

And if you've ever been in band then you know how us reed players soak our reeds when a water cup is unavailable. That's right, we suck on them. So here I am in middle school next to the band bleachers, oboe in hand, reed in mouth, when a teacher/adult (I'm unsure I didn't know who she was) approaches me frowning. She walks right up to me saying, "You're not allowed to smoke on school property." Behind her is these two kids glaring at me, so obviously they had "tattled" on me. I decide, instead of calmly explaining to her what was in my mouth, to buzz the reed. The look of surprise on these people's faces was something that will stick in my mind forever. I turned and walked away before any of them responded but needless to say I was not kicked off the property.

And that folks is how I got in trouble for smoking at a middle school football game. Typing it out, it's a lot less funny, but still a good story. Maybe I'll tell more 🤷. I played the oboe through high school too, but since I played school-owned instruments I couldn't continue. It makes me sad sometimes but I also don't have the time for it anyways with my major.

Time to stop procrastinating home work. Bye!
