Dad attempts Cassanova status via keyboard; daughter feels considerable discomfort

Dad bought himself a birthday present: a Yamaha keyboard that accompanies him with grand orchestral backup as he plays. It’s like, piano hero. And now he won’t stop playing it. He stayed home all of Sunday to play it; he didn’t even answer the phone.

My mom told me to try it, and so I sat down to play Fur Elise - but my dad sat down next to me and played it on our real piano, FASTER. Just to show me up.

Now they’re gleefully singing ‘Besame Mucho,’ accompanied by the keyboard’s programmed castanets. I feel uncomfortable.
