Dyson and I play Beethoven

We have a digital piano at home and one day Dyson asked for piano lessons. I think he’s starting earlier than I did. So he’s probably better than I was at that age. And if he keeps up with it, he’ll be better than I am now.

It kinda embarrasses me / fills me with me pride, but there are already things he’s better than me at:

  • Running continuously for 2 miles.
  • Playing Connect Four.
  • Holding a plank position.
  • Being cute.

Fortunately, there are still things I’m better at:

  • Playing the piano.
  • Playing chess.
  • Programming computers.
  • Public speaking.

Well, at least … for now. As time goes on, the top list will grow and the bottom list will shrink. I suppose that’s ever the way with being a parent. I just didn’t think it’d start happening when he was six!
