I "drew hairs" on a note in Aiden's piano lesson last night.

What the fuck is "drawing hairs"? This is even my own phraseology. When I "drew the hairs", Aiden did not exclaim, "You drew hairs on that note!" It didn't go down like that. He didn't say anything at all about "hairs" on "notes".

This is what happened. I said, "I drew hairs on that note."

Aiden said, "What?"

I said, "I dunno."

What I had done was draw a circle around the note and then drew three big lines out of the top of it, just to draw more attention to it. In my mind, that was hairs.

They're nothing like hairs.

I'm a creepy-arse teacher.
