Fourth Ski Lesson

The weather was really beautiful for Isaac's penultimate ski lesson. On the cabriolet ride down to the parking lot he said, "Mom, there's a rule about the gondola: No singing."
I said, "Who told you that rule?"
Isaac said, "Kenny said there's a rule of no singing on the gondola. That made me sad because he said I couldn't even doot quietly." Dooting is how Isaac sings a melody without any words.
He said, "It isn't fair."
I said, "Is it the same rule for Charlotte?"
Ikey said, "Charlotte doesn't even know how to doot." 
Later in the day, he told Grandma Rainey that the rules for the gondola are: No standing. No smoking. No singing.
Todd said that Kenny is killing Isaac's enthusiasm. I reminded him how many times we've asked Isaac to turn the volume down when singing or dooting in the car. Even Jovie has told him to stop singing. I don't hold it against Kenny.
