Daily Drabble 24: Tone Deaf





One day when I was in junior high, my mom was driving me to my harp lesson. She had a bit of a mischievous look in her eye. She asked me if I remembered when I first learned the ABCs.
“No,” I said. “Why?”
“Well, the day you came home after learning the ABC song, you sang it for me. But you had no inflection. You sang it all in one note. I thought, oh no, poor girl is tone deaf.”
“Maybe I was.”
“I think you were. But you grew out of it. And now you play the harp.”
