The Panio Player

Date of occurrence:
July 29, 2012.

Leo just loves watching TV and cartoons in particular. I was actually wondering if and what he would be picking up from them and particularly the ones that are supposed to be educational, so I put it to the test as soon as the occasion arose.

I didn't have to wait very long. Various musical instruments appeared on the screen and I asked Leo if he could name them. He sure didn't have a problem with that and correctly named the guitar, flute, and drums which passed by in front of our eyes.

The next instrument was one I was almost certain of he would have a problem with. Well, he did and he didn't. He had seen it and heard the name before and enthusiastically shouted out: 'A panio'!

The little Munchkin man had no idea why I laughed, but laughed with me after I explained to him what was so funny about it. I don't think a pianist would like to be called a panio player, but I already was proud it at least rang a bell with our grandson.

To his defense; it had all the correct letters in it!
