Tsaiko and Miome Theater: Christmas Music
We were in a restaurant eating, when The Little Drummer Boy came on. I wasn't paying much attention, but obviously the song was getting on miome's nerves. Right in the middle of our conversation, she busted out this line
Miome: Because Lord knows that's just what a newborn wants. A drum solo.
Tsaiko: *cracks up laughing* Now I'm picturing a rocker doing a drum solo for baby Jesus.
Miome: I think what annoys me most if the type of drum.
Tsaiko: Oh?
Miome: They always show... oh what is it called? It's the drum with wooden sticks and the sharp sound. A timpani?
Tsaiko: *snerk* Not a timpani. You mean a snare drum.
Miome: Yes, a snare. Like a kid wants to hear that. *pause* So what is a timpani drum?
Tsaiko: It's a big kettledrum. Like in the theme of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Miome: I was not even close to being right.
Tsaiko: Now I kind of want to hear a version of The Little Drummer Boy, only with a timpani drum instead of a snare.
You can tell which of us was a band geek and which of us was not. :D
