Julianna (she’s 11) is steadily improving on the violin. Her musician mother and father couldn’t be happier.

Me: Honey, what key is this piece in?

J: It is in D Major.

Me: And, how do you know?

J: Because, the key signature has an F hashtag and a C hashtag.

J: I know, Daddy. That’s Ok. This wasn’t the first time, either… Sigh…
