i played the recorder in elementary school did anyone else have to do that i remember as a kid mine had bite marks in it because id bite it sometimes i wonder why i did that i guess its like when you would bite straws by the way these new paper straws are terrible if you leave them in your drink long enough they start to break apart which sucks id rather they give me no straw than a paper straw metal straws well thats a different story ive never used one before but they seem bad id rather again just have no straw
