What greatness?
The smitten parents had to know.
The old astrologer swore silently. Majority of his clients rarely questioned him if the future was bright. Only a few needed to know every detail.
He observed the fancy music system in the room.
A musical genius he said leaving hurriedly.
The budding prodigy was doted over each little stage of his life.
Is that what I think I am looking at Momma?
Absolutely Popsy. It is Beethoven’s first movement.

Hello there once again in 2021. Back after missing many episodes of FF. Many factors here - missing muse, procrastination and yes the dreaded lack of belief. But this is a new year and hope to contribute more.
Double dog dare accepted. No covid, lockdowns in this post ;-)
They named him Beethoven? Poor kid
ReplyDeleteWell it could have been an ultra edgy new age name. Like X Æ A-12
DeleteHaha, nicely done :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Iain.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the double-dog-dare and rising brilliantly to the occasion. The last line made me laugh until the tears ran down my legs.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks for the dare Rochelle I did enjoy this.
DeleteVery clever twist - and I didn't see it coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteLOL, Subroto such a well-told story. You got a lot into 100 words. Will never look at Beethoven the same way again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, these are simple pleasures of parenthood I believe :-) ....
DeleteHilarious! Such proud parents indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dora I am glad you liked it.
DeleteUnexpected. Funny. And who would name the poor helpless baby Beethoven!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. The name probably implies that they have big expectations from the child :-)
DeleteA very clever and funny ending to the tale!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda I am glad you liked it.
