know what happy is. And medium comes

How is it going with your neighbor?

Is he still complaining about your playing

the trombone at night? He was. But it's

fine now.

How did you guys work it out? Well, I

agreed to not play after 10pm. And he

agreed to not bang on the walls.

Sounds like you guys found a happy

medium. A happy medium means a

compromise, or a situation that is

acceptable to both sides. You meet in the

middle and it makes both sides happy. We

often say "to find a happy medium."

And that's English in a minute!
