This Can Only Lead To Treble

(It is late at night. My boyfriend is doing music homework, and doing poorly due to tiredness.)

Me: “You’re going flat?”

Boyfriend: “It doesn’t come as natural to me. Accidentals happen.”

(Not being a student of music theory, I come up dry… or so I think.)

Me: “Music puns aren’t my forte.”

(I realize that ‘forte’ is actually a musical term.)
Me: “…pun not actually intended.”

Boyfriend: “Riiiiiiiiiight.”
