Clue/Question:  What Mom made him do when he was late for his piano lesson.

Answer:  FACE THE MUSIC

(I can name that tune in one note!  I took piano lessons, as a kid, for about a year.  Supposedly, I was pretty good.  I just didn’t have the patience for the pace at which the teacher was trying to teach me.  Sweet old lady, actually.  I just would’ve benefited from a more progressive teaching style.  And, now that I can’t play any instrument at all, and I can’t really read music, I regret not sticking with it.  I should’ve  just asked for a different teacher.  But, I always think of these kind of things way too late.  Oh, yeah.  Nice jumble.)   — YUR
