We go to a stay and play every Thursday morning, usual thing toys for 90 mins then a few songs with instruments to finish the session. Every single wk this boy a year older than my son dives in the box and pulls out the 1 accordion. My son every wk wants ago on this instrument, the boy claims it. Then drops it to run off and play else where. His nan knows how much my son wants ago on it but she holds it out of reach from my son. It's so cruel his little lip drops. I would never let my child hog a toy wk in and out. Makes my blood boil !

Why don't you buy one and then bring it out of your bag for your DC to play with or even bett buy 10 and donate them to the club?

Fact.

I have many good ideas.

Most of them cannot be shared in polite company, sadly.

But the silky granny would slide in at night through the letterbox and steal them all. Or cover them with slime like that fish thing.

I'd go with biscuit's suggestion.
Honey, that's what they're called in East Street Market.

Accordions are lethal. I only played one once. It was enough. It ripped my lips to shreds and I bled. Profusely.

Jusy say " please can you pass the accordian" she can't really say no. If she does then a simple "your grandson is playing with x and my dc would like a go thankyou"

Was the reed in properly Quint?

I think that may have been your problem.

I'm actually not even sure what a accordion is.

The biggish thing you hold with two hands and move hands in and out. It has like piano keys on the sides

That's if that even exists

Quint if you don't know the difference between an accordion and a mouth organ ... maybe try guitar? It's a bit like a trumpet.
Knives and ice cream? It's a scoop you need.

I would charter a small boat to Tallinn, and stay in a backstreet B&B and let it be known you were thinking about procuring a small water cannon for approximately £200.

Return, point weapon and demand the accordian.

I think that's proportionate.

Clarty, the Ruth thing is confusion. Some people think the top bit of the inside if your mouth is roof. It's not. It's ruth.
