Story of the Day 9 / 13 / 2016

My son, Aaron, works in a public school as a behavioral mentor for a young man with developmental disabilities. Aaron has been working at this school for about one month.

At the end of the day, Aaron was heading down the hallway to go home, when the music teacher asked him to stop into the music room and listen to something.
The music teacher told Aaron to listen while he played "Teapot". "Teapot" is the part of the name of the song that my son remembered when relating this story to me. Luckily, I've had an extensive classical musical education and was able to figure out that the piece in question was " I'm a Little Teapot." Heck, I even remember the lyrics.

The teacher played the melody on the piano and then told Aaron, "Now listen to this, this is the Israeli anthem ( Hatikvah")."
Aaron politely stood there while the music teacher plunked out that tune.
Then he said to my son, "Don't they sound just alike?"

There was a very pregnant pause, or , at least, I am assuming there was.
Then my son responded, "Yeah, sure."
And left.

Aaron figured it would have taken too long to explain to the teacher that he ( Aaron, not the music teacher) is deaf and pretty much all music sounds the same to him.
