I don't like the show

Yesterday we all went together to mystic for their 4th annual St. Patty's day parade. I know it's a week late but I think that's the only way they could get all the bands they wanted. Nathan was all excited all morning. When we got there he just wanted to go for a walk and couldn't wait for the parade to start. We were sitting down a little bit from a corner. So you could hear stuff coming way before you could see it. nathan and daddy walked down to the corner to look and came back all excited because "The drums are coming and the police are in front of them"

When that first band turned the corner to where we were sitting he turned into me and said "I'm scared." I got him to watch the parade but each time those bagpipes came down the road he told me he was scared.

Those darn pipers. I thought he would like them but I guess not. Near the end of the parade he told me it was time to go home now. The other part of the problem was that the parade didn't start till 1PM which is nap time. So he was getting tired as well. Today he got up and said I don't want to go to the show. I thought he said school but no ... he kept saying show. I said what show... and he said parade. Poor guy, here I was doing something I thought he would love. I asked him did you like the drums? Nathan: "Yup and the flutes" What about the bagpipes. "I scared of the bagpipes"

As one of the bands was coming down the road we saw them stop and one of the pipers gave his bagpipe to someone else to hold and then went over to another of the pipers and was playing around with his bagpipe. To me it looked like he was tuning a bagpipe... which of course brought up the joke. How do you tune two bagpipers? ......... Ask one of them to stop playing.
