Mozart face baiateli mai destepti
Olesia, my host brother's wife, is visiting our house with their six-week-old son, Gabriel. Diana, my 19-year-old host sister, turns on some Russian pop radio in order to soothe him into sleep. Quickly, I grab my Mozart compilation out of my CD collection and say, "This is much better for babies than that noise." She says I can put it in the stereo system, and I do.
Why do I feel like an old man telling a 19-year-old girl to stop listening to that no-good junk she calls music and stick to the good stuff? Because that's what I'm actually saying. Someone's got to save the kid's ears. Plus, doesn't Mozart make babies smarter?

Better that he listen to Mozart at an early age and grow up to be a violinist or opera star than being polluted with pop and becoming the next Abba or 2006's worse Eurovision equivalents of Lordi from Finland or Natalia and Arsenium from Moldova. [I was in Scotland while this was going on, and had a few embarrassed Europeans tell me their pop culture woes.]
I am so proud of you. mom
Yes, he does but not our youngsters
