Let's see...
During the past two years we have...
Had the police show up on our doorstep when you practiced for six hours the first weekend you had the drum set.
Been forced into city-sponsored mediation about your drumming.
Been woken by you practicing (admittedly on your practice pad, but still) at 6:30 on a Saturday morning before a big competition.
Been informed that we needed to haul you and your cymbals halfway to hell and back because the cymbals with the set provided by the church where you were doing the gig were "crap".
Been made physically ill by you and your two thrash-metal-wanna-be buddies jamming in the living room.
Had our lives disrupted for hours when your brothers couldn't do homework and I couldn't read, mainly because -- as good as you can be -- drumming really does make it hard to concentrate.
So those complaints about the redhead taking up the trumpet? Are falling on deaf ears. Completely.
Payback can be such a bitch sometimes.
Oh, in case you're interested.... I have earplugs.
