With school being out and the weather being rainy, I took my six year old daughter and three year old son to an indoor playground.

This was our first visit.

Apparently I wasn't the only parent with that idea. The place was crowded and humid with the essence of damp children.

My offspring booked it to the jumpy castle and proceeded to publicly share the wildness I taught them at home with Prokofiev's Dance of the Enemy God and the Spirits of Darkness.

Of course, we don't call it The Dance of the Enemy God and the Spirits of Darkness, we call it crazy music.

Every so often, one of them will pipe up, "Let's go crazy Daddy." In goes the Prokofiev and out come the children of the enemy god.

At the indoor arena of play, it was all fun and games as no one lost an eye.

I was proud of my polite but wild tykes.

That’s how I like classical music to be performed, polite, respectful but at the same time wild and crazy.

While not all classical music can or should be wild and crazy, it can have energy and enthusiasm.

I’d rather hear a performance that is imperfect and enthusiastic than one that’s only virtue is having all the notes correct.
