My daughter says she wants a guitar because she knows she has talent. She says she wants a red guitar because her room is red and red is her favorite color. As luck would have it, her birthday is in March and my mother is really excited, loves to dote on her grandchildren and says she will purchase a “red” guitar for her very favorite, (and only) granddaughter. Because my mother doesn’t do much of her own shopping anymore and does not have access to the internet, we will do the shopping for her. My husband says there are lots of guitars for kids available and he already has a really cute red one picked out.
I just hope that mom realizes that while this is so very kind of her, we will be the ones that will put up with the inevitable noise. I love music more than anyone but I do have my limits. I love my daughter and more importantly I want her to be happy, so if a red childrens electric guitar will make her happy then so be it!
