Well, I have finally found something that will hold the ferts attention for more than 30 seconds. My SO bought me a harmonica for Christmas. (I always wanted one when I was a kid, but Mom never got me one.) The other day I sat down with it and an instructional video (it'll be a long time before I play like Bobby Joe Holman), and all of a sudden, there they both were, standing beside me, STARING. I kept playing, and they crawled up on my shoulders and just sat there. The sound absolutely fascinates them. They can't get close enough to it, either. If I walk around while playing it, they follow right on my heels, like the Pied Piper. Hmm...maybe if I play the harmonica, and then walk into the bathtub...
