(Silence)

Night Night Jukebox



We usually sing a few songs before putting J + B to bed.
Walked by their room one night.

--
J: Star song!
B: (sing) Twinkle, twinkle, little star...
J: Bird song!
B: (sing) Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie...

--
Walked by again after 5 minutes, all is quiet.

Turn Humperdinck Off

'tis the season for holiday operas. Popped in Hansel & Gretel by Humperdinck. What could be more appropriate than that?

That is, until the (evil) step-mom comes on with her aria.

--
B: Turn it off.
Dad: What happened?
B: It makes me anxious.
Dad: Okay, let's play the Die Zauberflöte.

--
I envy B's intuitive sense of music.
