You can make your garage sound proof and have them practice in there. Thats what we did for my husband and his friends, do it before it's too late though and all your neighbors hate you. That is if your kid is going to be playing long term anyway?

OMG I cannot believe I left this one out! When I was like 12 we were out in service in our car which was well known as the "mafia mobile" (it was a long white ugly station wagon). Anyway, there were these two "older brothers" who were like in their later 20's. Both of whom my little sister and I were very much smitten with. She and I had to sit in the very back, and it was blasted hot on this particular day. Well my parents dissappeared on this return visit and left no air on for any of us to survive. So after awhile the brothers I mentioned before, started asking questions such as, "when will they be getting back?" and "is there any way to turn on the air without the keys in here?". So I felt like this was my que to impress them with my problem solving abbilities. I said, "here, I will just open this back door all the way down and we can get some good air flow". Being that I was only 12, I didn't realize that you shouldnt open a door that opens flush with the ground while the window is still up. Therefore, as the door slammed open and the glass spread all over the street, I looked up at them and just said, "uh oh, somebody is gonna be in trouble". I tried to act "cool" about it but I am sure they knew all was not going to be well as my parents came running back from their call wondering what in the sam hill just happened! Needless to say I still feel that if it weren't for that little "incident" we would have died from heat exaustion that very day.

Legolas, that is hilarious! That sounds pretty nice that you knew someone who actually had a bathroom you could use. We live in the desert here so no one wants to squat behind a cactus to pee.

MY SCARIEST TIME in service was when I was trapped in a car with a bunch of pioneers and they all wanted to go work a small town 2 hours from where we lived. I am too shy to speak up alot of the time, so I just went along with it, even though I would have probably rather shot myself in the head. MY FUNNIEST TIME IN SERVICE was when I was about 15 years old and me and my little sister went to a door together and the man who answered was completely naked (and he was pretty nice looking to boot). Neither of of knew what to do, so I just went on with my offerings of the WT and Awake. I wanted so badly to laugh and she kept giggling which made it worse.
