1. Yesterday I bought myself a fancy new digital piano, so I needed something to do with my junky old PSR-270. I put it in 7yo's room, where she immediately expressed an interest in learning to play it. (She had never shown such a desire previously.)

2. I offered to get her piano lessons, but she insisted that no, she didn't want to take piano lessons, she wanted *me* to teach her. This is flattering, but also I don't know the first thing about teaching piano. I am not even particularly good at playing piano.

3. Not knowing what else to do, I taught her how to find a C (find two black keys and it's the key to the left), and she grabbed a notebook [!] and wrote this down [!] after which it became clear that she doesn't really know which side is left and which is right all that well.

4. So then we had to brainstorm how she could learn *that*. We eventually settled on "when you write a word, left is the start of the word and right is the end of the word" and then she wrote that in her notebook too.
