Naw, we were just messing around in my room as brothers do (probably making jet fighter noises and pretend dog fighting with some of my model airplanes) when he suddenly sat down on the bed, where the trumpet was laying down. My bad, and lesson learned. It sure hurt to see the disappointment on Dad's face upon seeing the damage.
The joke was eventually on my brother, though. Each of my three younger siblings got to (had to?) play that trumpet in turn, me being the oldest. I am the only one who came back to music as an adult, but to guitar and ukulele this time. I haven't played a trumpet since probably 1979.
Sounds similar to my story with the trumpet and guitar. Except it was only the younger of my two brothers who later played hand-me-down trumpet; and the older of my two brothers who took up guitar when I took it back up. And neither brother sat on my trumpet... And all this happened in a different place and time... And, sadly, there were no airplane noises involved...
But other than that, our stories are identical...
