I think the image of your brother, in the living room, tooting his own horn, is beyond hilarious!
I also think that it's awful for your parents to have forced you to take a specific instrument like that. Or music classes at all, without your consent. I have to wonder, though, why the flute? Is there some history there?
I always wanted to play the flute when I was younger. My M wouldn't let me play any mouth instruments, though, because I had a talent for singing. I got to play the piano, though, so at least there was something. I would have withered away if my love for making music wasn't fed.
