Short story: The unappreciated piano thumper

Tweet

Every weekend, Rob Sinclair would sit at his piano, and play tunes on it for several hours, to help him to relax, from his weekly bout with his work. This settled his nerves, and relaxed him, but little did he know that the rest of the family always dreaded this performance, which they equated to an elephant at the piano, thumping heavily on the notes. They would often go out shopping, whenever Dad performed. One day, he twigged that they were never home when he was playing, and he asked them, "Don't you like my playing? One after the other, they replied, "Yes, Dad you are a great player," except for the youngest, who spoke what he thought, "You play too loudly, and we all end up with headaches, and stress, from your playing." The father said, "oh", and so nothing changed, as he wanted to play, and he thought, as he wanted to think, that most of his household were ok with it. Events in our lives can change us, only if we change with them, from them occurring. Otherwise, nothing changes, as we must want to change to change too.
