When she tells Jane about this, Jane reminds her of the other times she wanted to do things, but didn't want to practice them, and gave up after just a few days. First, it was tee ball (D.W. claimed she could only hit balls that moved), then it was ballet (D.W. claimed to have weak knees), and finally, it was violin lessons (D.W. claimed she could have been good at it if her music teacher didn't make her use the bow).
