When I first moved out on my own at the young age of 16, my first dad gave me a few hundred dollars as a Christmas/Birthday/Goodluck gift. Hmmmm....what to buy...I was torn between two tempations: a xylophone or a motorcylce. With help from my second dad I opted for a 250cc Honda Twinstar Motorcycle. It was, in this case, the more practical decision.
At work we have various competitions with different tiers of award points. With these points you can 'purchase' goods from a special website. Kinda like Wheel-of-Fortune. I've never been too interested in the competitions because it seems that what most people buy are clothes, jewelery, tv's and electronic gizmo's and other such normal fares. However...
A few weeks ago I was on the site trying to figure out what I can order. I was thinking maybe I should get some winter gear to bike to work in. And then...I saw a musical instrument tab...hehehe...with 9 hard-earned points I got a keyboard. It's nothing out of this world, but for living in a tiny little apartment, and not having had a piano for so long, I am in heaven!
And now, I love these competitions. If we win our next one, I'm going to get a flute! I am on my way to owning my very own orchestra.
Sadly, they don't have any xylophones...

A flute- how fun! If you get it, you have to tell me what kind it is. Too bad I'm not there to play duets with you. :(
I'm sure it'll be some low-end student Bundy type, but I'll be happy to have it. And for free so extra bonus. :)
Duets would be soo much fun!!
Wow! Very cool. I think you should go for the Motorcycle though.. is that an option?!
