keyk"You shouldn't play the violin. It's too up close to your ear, so it's too loud for you."
I just got back from my lessons, and this is what my mom tells me. Well then! You'd may as well stop taking me to school because, god forbid, the girls's loud, high-pitched voices will make me deaf, too! The teacher's booming voices even! Do you want me to stop singing? The choir's full of loud voices, don't you know! You'd may as well keep me locked up at home because, oh, dear, the city is just too loud! Do you want me to stop talking, too? I don't think you're aware of how loud my voice can get when I need it to be. Oh, no, I'll become deaf! I should stop doing anything that'll make me become deaf faster! I should just keep my hearing just for the sake of keeping it!
If I'm going to go deaf soon, I'm going to do what I CAN for as long as I can hear. I'm not going to invest all of my time to preserve it if it won't serve any meaningful purpose to me. Stuff it, mom. You're not helping.
On the other hand, the more she tries to make me not do something, the more I want to, and I guess that can be considered a good thing.
