Recorder

A girl in my son's after-school class, who has entered third grade this year, mentioned to me that she had been given a recorder, and would be learning to play. This reminded me that I had been given one, as well — probably at about the time I entered the third grade.

I remember it was red — dark red, I think — though I don't remember ever learning how to play it. (If I did learn, it didn't take.)
