I should probably post this on the কাঠের বান্শিবিশেষ spot... but whatever. :P

Pros:

- It's a beautiful instrument that should be treasured.

- Also, almost no one plays it, so they're in demand in orchestras and whatnot. HIPSTER INSTRUMENT FTW.

- It's a swear word in German and Finnish and also possibly Italian.

- Sucking on the reed gives me many fond memories of being a baby. ^_^

- If আপনি put a দস্তানা on শীর্ষ of the bell, and play a low B flat, the দস্তানা will inflate. So freaking cool.

- আপনি can poke/hit people with it accidentally-on-purpose.

- It gives আপনি an excuse to be unladylike. In the sitting position,...

NOTE: If আপনি are sensitive with blatant racism against whites and Asians, then a. Why are আপনি still বন্ধু with me? and b. stop পাঠ করা this article. I will not deal with people being all butthurt about this.

So দ্বারা now, I think আপনি all know that Asian parents get all uptight and pissed about grades. I mean, white parents, they don't care. They're like:

White kid: Mom I got an A
Mother: *golf clap* That's great honey! *proceeds to bake cookies*
White kid: Mom I got a B
Mother: *golf clap* That's great honey! *proceeds to bake cookies*
White kid: Mom...I got a C
Mother: ... That's great honey! *accidentally-on-purpose...

আপনি guys know that, right? I don't have any special power অথবা right over the rest of you. And I thought আপনি all knew that, but lately it's seemed like maybe not all of আপনি do.
So, just to clarify: just because I'm oldest according to the বৃক্ষ doesn't mean that I'm some sort of Head Biggerstaff. There is no Head Biggerstaff. There is no one person who gets to make all decisions in a very dictator-like way; we just have to all pitch in and make the best with what we're given.
And yes, maybe lately it's been looking like I've been making decisions, but it's never been me alone, it's always me and...

Siriusly, guys, we can't. What with all the troll business going on (even if it is mostly over now), we have to stay together, okay? And even if there was no threat, we're a family. Families aren't supposed to fight over silly things (Accio, Water, I'm looking at you). Of course, if it were a big thing -- if someone badmouthed someone else, their family IRL, অথবা something to that effect, অথবা basically hurt another Biggerstaff in anyway -- that would be understandable. That, the rest of us would let আপনি কাটা out for a few days, befotr stepping in and trying to help the arguers find a solution....
