I bought a ukulele. Eek!
That sentence has been years in the making. Ever since I first saw The Jerk—that wonderfully absurd 1979 film where Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters sit on the beach and sing Tonight You Belong to Me—I’ve wanted one. Steve strums a little soprano uke while Bernadette joins in on cornet, and somehow, amid all the ridiculousness, this tiny duet becomes heartbreakingly sweet.
So now, here I am.
I finally bought one. Isn’t she pretty?
