Conversations with Sabrina
Here’s another conversation with Sabrina. We were listening to Beethoven when she asked:
Sabrina: Who wrote the Four Seasons? Was it Beethoven?
Me: No, it was Vivaldi.
Sabrina: (with a clever look) Daddy, I know there’s a 5th season.
Me: No, there are only 4.
Sabrina: You remember, the one with the zombies.
Me: Are you thinking of Halloween? That’s just a holiday, not a season.
Sabrina: No. Remember, you said there were 5 zombies.
Me: ?
Sabrina: On the radio.
Me: Are you talking about the musical group, The Zombies?
Sabrina: Yes.
Me: Are you talking about the song, “Time of the Season”?
Sabrina: Yes, that's it.
This is how Conversations go with Sabrina at the moment. She remembers everything. She heard “Time of the Season” once while we were driving somewhere and she heard that there were 5 people in the group, The Zombies, that performed it. Because we were talking about music that featured a season she associated The Zombies with Vivaldi and expected that I would get the reference (which I eventually did, but it took me a minute).
