So Mothers Everywhere Take Heart. The Indoctrination

I Also Taught Myself How To Blow Glass Using A Propane Torch From The Hardware Store And Managed To Make Some Elementary Chemistry Plumbing Such As Tees And Small Glass Bulbs.

My Mother Also Had Us Take Piano Lessons, And This Had A Similar Effect. I Hated Those Lessons, But I Now Play Regularly For Pleasure And Have Even Tried My Hand At Composing.
