J is very excited to be in music, so I was shocked when one day he sat quietly with no mouthpiece and an unopened saxophone case. Because lack of preparation negatively affects students' grades (not the mention their music education), I decided to see what the problem was:
Mr. F: "So J, why no mouthpiece today?"
J: "Well...it got crushed."
Mr. F: "How did it get crushed?"
J: "Last Thursday."
(pause)
Mr. F: "Okay...that's WHEN it was crushed. HOW did it get crushed?"
J: "Well it's in the garbage now."
Mr. F: "Okay...that's WHERE it is. HOW did it get crushed?"
J: "Oh. It's probably in the incinerator."
(pause)
Mr. F: "J, listen very, very carefully. HOW, as in what happened, to crush your saxophone mouthpiece?"
J: "Well I just threw it out after it was crushed!"
(pause)
Mr. F (face in hands): "J, did it get hit by a car? Did something heavy fall on it? Did someone heavy jump on it?"
J: "It's in the garbage now, I don't know!"
I would finish the rest of the transcript, except it carries on for far too long with no results. I still have no idea what actually happened. It has been suggested that he was lying, but he was so earnest about the whole ordeal that I don't believe that to be true.
