In my street, just two houses away, lives a young boy (aroung 12 years old) which is a big soccer and computer games mania.
Every since a while he rans to my place to record him some movies, cartoons, games and so on.
I was always glad he came, because he could be damn funny, and for the child of his age he was totally cool, I have to admit.
Tell me, would you say no to 12 years old boy, that was begging you to spent 5 minutes with him, just to record that bloody game he wants?
Okay, the same thing happened today. While I was recording his cd's, he noticed my Strat (because it's a fresh guitar in my line, and he noticed that) and asked me, if I can teach him to play something.
Okay, we took the guitars and we were going from scratch. After half an hour of playing on dry (showing him basics) I told him to call home, just to make parents sure that he's safe and he'll be a little late. His parents said it's alright, but he didn't mention what we were doing.
Okay, then we tried to play it through the amp. Of course, he wanted to hear some distortion tones, which are so praised by children, who hear and see guitars and guitarist only on TV and radio.
While we were "shredding" some Smoke on the Water interlude (he was giving me the G on one string [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) someone rang the doorbell -> his parents.
I knew there will be troubles. Father, which weights app. 300 pounds, was yelling at me, why I teach his son such stupidity as guitar playing. He slapped his son, because he was holding the god damn guitar. I was in shock and I barely said anything. But I said him to slap me, not his son, or we can friendly sit down in the living room, have a coffee and discuss about guitar playing and hobbies in general.
My stepfather has done plenty of favors to this guy (his father) and when he came into the house, and the guy didn't know where to start looking for excuses. Finally he was telling something about they're planning a family trip, because today's our national day of liberty, so their son should be at home an hour ago.
When they left I talked to my stepfather (I am not pussy, because I am 19 years old now, but I didn't want to make a bad impression), but he told he heard everything the guy said (the window was open).
He's totally on my side, so I have someone, that can prove I am right.
And to light a bigger fire, I heard the father of that boy one day yelling at the boy, telling him he's gay, just because his little sister (7 months old) woke up and started crying.
I knew this guy has some problems, but I didn't know he's a total idiot.
I didn't know that guitar playing is worse than taking drugs ... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Plenty of you have kids - share your opinion, please. I am feeling a little guilty, because boy is totally innocent and I feel sorry for him and how they treat him.
