A (at the kitchen table): "What's the name of the composer who wrote 'The Firebird?'"
J (preparing eggplant parmesan for the microwave) : "I think you know that. Do you remember?"
A: "Stra -- Stravinsky?"
J (inordinately pleased): "That's right. Stravinsky wrote 'The Firebird.' And you know what, his first name is Igor. So his full name is Igor Stravinsky."
A: "Igor! Igor Stravinsky. It sounds like Eeyore."
J (imagining what compositions by Eeyore Stravinsky would sound like): "Yes. It does."
