Even our first parents saw the piano as important |
Howard Milton reports that he was helping the Moore’s
load the moving truck when he overheard an argument between Bruce and Julia
Moore.
The conversation became rather heated, with Julia Moore
insisting that moving to “Babylon” (Tacoma, Washington) without the spiritual
protection of a piano would wreak long-term social and spiritual havoc on their
family.
“For example,” Howard remembered, “she wouldn’t be able
to teach piano lessons anymore and would probably have to find work outside the
home, destroying the lives of their children and opening the door to the very
real possibility of being seduced by her boss.”
“But she was especially worried about where they’d put
the family pictures,” he said.
But the fact was, there was no room for the piano in the
moving van. “I just happened to be there with a hundred bucks in my wallet,”
said Milton. “And Bruce promised Julia that if their family started to go
downhill too fast, he’d buy her a new piano and a bonus flute.”
Sister Jan Milton is thrilled with the purchase. “Oh, that brown upright matches my framed
cross-stitch of the Proclamation perfectly,” she exclaimed. She also noted that
Family Home Evening was 54 percent more spiritual this Monday and that she has
been receiving much more inspiration when comparing her Book of Mormon studies
with Fox News reports.
“This is what it feels like to be a real Mormon!” she
squealed delightedly. She looks forward to listening to her seven children
practice hymns, and is already working on a massive doily for the top of the
piano.
The Moore family has not been heard from since their
move.
Lol so true. Its been in the living room my entire life.
