344. On Musical Tastes

Scene:  Sophie (6) and Anna (4) accompany their mother to her monthly Lunch Club.  They’ve been warned to be on their best behaviour.  A discussion is taking place about favourite composers. In a lull a kindly lady turns to Sophie –

Lunch Club Lady (40):  So what sort of music do you like Sophie?

Sophie (6):  I like Shostakovich.

Anna (4):  (In high treble)  I like Mahler…… an’ I like Van Goff.

With thanks to Liz.
