My son Jonathan, then 6, was introduced to the infamous Opera Ghost through PBS' "Wishbone." Since all I knew about the story was that there was a mask involved, we searched out more information on the Internet.

That's how our love affair with "The Phantom of the Opera" began. But what I've found is that if I rein in my compulsiveness a bit, my children lead me to heights my list would never permit me to go. The only thing I like better than making a list is crossing things off that list. I like my ducks in a row (a really, really straight row). Soon, everyone’s masks are up, and the surprising reveal underway.The great thing about following your child's interests is that they are infinitely more interesting than anything you could dream up on your own.
