Yahoos or Yo-Yos?

The kids may watch their fair share of TV, but we hold fast to the no-TV-at-dinner rule. Tonight was outside our regular routine: Dad was late, dinner wasn't ready, Mom was headed to Book Club. So Will and Elle ate at the kitchen island—rather than in relative peace of the dining room—and I offered to play a little dinner music.

Will initially requested Halloween music, but thankfully I didn't have any on iTunes. As I skimmed through our options, I mentioned Yo-Yo Ma, and the kids requested it. They listened, finished dinner, then burst onto the dance floor.


Impressive for two who usually prefer KISS and Green Day. ;)
