So my 3-year-old grandson (Henry, a traditional name in both families) is in my music room with me; he loves to be in there. I have a bag full of shaky things and percussion instruments that I let the grandkids play with. The play along with me sometimes. Today I told Henry: "Put away those things and Grampa will get out his banjo!" He dutifully picked them all up and put them back in the bag.
I got out my banjo and plcked a couple chords...he threw up his arms and angrily shouted "NO!" and ran out of the room, LOL. Couldn't even coax him back in there; I'm still laughing. He's heard me play the guitar a lot, but not the banjo.
Had this happen once before with a kid about the same age years ago in Sunday School..oh well, life imitates art I guess. You can't make this stuff up.
