I just asked the people in the room (Railfan and The Red-Headed Menace) if they would mind me playing music.* Since I knew they would not be happy with me playing my standards playlist (see yesterday's post), I asked if they would mind classical.
"What period? Romantic? Baroque? Impressionistic? Modern?" RHM asked.
How should I know? This having children more knowledgeable than me can get to be a real pain, sometimes.**
* I suppose I could have been an autocrat and simply turned the music on, but I am trying to teach my children manners, and absent a good reason to be autocratic, I try to avoid doing so. That said, there are times when "because I said so" is not only a good reason but the only possible reason.
**My answer was "How should I know? I think it's a mix." I then started off with his favorite Vivaldi piece, so he was mollified.
