Fun House
Wolfgang shows his street cool
We once took our sons, Jon and Josh, then about 3 and 7 years old, to see the movie "Amadeus," about the composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. After the movie, we discussed the merits of Mozart's life and came to the conclusion that although he was a brilliant composer, Mozart wasn't very practical since he died a pauper.
Jonathan's face was a picture of bewilderment as his 3-year-old's vocabulary registered in his mind the word "popper."
He asked loudly in astonishment, "You mean, Mozart did break-dancing?"
