Not for children under 3 years old


A friend at work was walking across the street to Target this afternoon. I joked with her that I expected a gift and that gift must cost more than $5.00. I didn't get a gift that cost more than $5.00 but I did get a gift. I got a kazoo!!
The only problem...I couldn't make it work. In my defense, I was trying to play it like you would play a brass instrument such as a trumpet. Finally, I looked up instructions on the internet. In case you were wondering...the directions are below. Please notice the proper names of the parts of the kazoo in the instructions...

Instructions
STEP 1: Find your kazoo.
STEP 2: Find the round thingy that sticks out (there's only one).
STEP 3: Put the end closest to the round thingy to your lips - this is usually, but not always, the fat end. Make sure the round thingy is on top.
STEP 4: Close your lips around the end to make a seal. Tuck your lips under just a tad so you're holding it cleanly instead of sucking on it wetly.
STEP 5: Hum into the kazoo.
Tips & Warnings
The round thingy houses a piece of waxed paper - it's what makes the kazoo vibrate and gives the sound volume. If you don't hear this, your kazoo may have gotten wet or damaged. Try another one.


And now you know...
