I was sitting in our living room this afternoon reading a book when I heard singing coming from our porch. Listening for a moment, I could make out the voices of my two younger children, ages 10 and 12.
Were they singing "Call Me Maybe" or another pop hit? No. The lyrics I heard were "My Destiny Calls and I go..." I listened longer. On they went...
From where are those lyrics? They come from the show "Man of La Mancha", the song- "I, Don Quixote".
What else do they enjoy, have I mentioned Shakespeare? They debate the pros and cons of the plays and which stagings they prefer.
While "Call Me Maybe" may appear in our home once and a while, I much prefer tilting at windmills with my children to hearing the latest pop.
