From the mouths of babes..

A piano lesson.

I told third-grader Carla that she could play "Toccata Breve" to prove to any kid that she was a great piano player. (She played this piece by memory at the recital last June.) Then I said, "I bet you still remember how to play that one."

"Nope," she corrected. "My brain is like a computer. It can change screens,... play games,.. store new things I learn, and delete stuff that I don't need anymore."
