    I guess the big one for me is the whole Mozart for babies thing. It wasn’t Mozart’s music making babies and young children smarter, it was a combination of more affluent parents or at least parents with college plus educations having time and income to spend on enrichment activities.

      Oh, thanks! That makes so much more sense!

      On a tangential note, I find hilarious which songs my toddler picks up and which ones are immediately forgotten. Somehow APT and Hey Jude are the shit, most of everything else doesn’t stick. Wonder why…
