It Took Me Years to Develop That Level of Musical Taste

Time Out NY this week has a special on the NY theater scene and there are some photos from Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera. Fiona saw the green witch and instantly pegged the Wizard of Oz reference. She wanted us to read the magazine to her, which is sort of difficult given that she a) hasn't figured out yet that grownups don't always read whole books or magazines in a single sitting and b) wouldn't be interested in the content even if we did read it to her.

Anyway, she then pointed to the Phantom and asked who he was. We replied that it was the Phantom of the Opera, and then gave the typical Pavlovian response that anybody who's seen the show will have: we started to belt out the chromatic that is basically 95% of the score for the show.

"Stop it!" Fiona yelled. "That's not a good sound!"

Three years old and she's already got musical taste.
