Mar. 25th, 2012 02:57 pmI do a bunch of fun things and only think to write about the bad stuff.
In a colonial themed restaurant, during the meal someone will come by and play music while telling history related to the instrument or tune. Our first night, a man played a stringed instrument talking to a room which included a man and woman with 3 kids at their table. The musician starts to play Yankee Doodle, then breaks to explain and contextualize it...he tried to treat the kids to a question "What is macaroni?" and dad bursts in with the answer regarding fancy colonial wear...cutting off the kids.
"You're doing it wrong."
While I didn't feel like throttling him, I did pity the kids. Can you imagine the poor sad sorry fuck who is so interested in proving his knowledge to a room full of strangers that he cuts off his own children from their fun? Or was he doing a power game over his kids - or was it showing off his knowledge to the kids? Regardless of the answer, my strong suspicion is he isn't mature enough to be a father.
In an unrelated note last night in the brewer's art I was thumping on the "57" part of a ketchup bottle when a young man came up and said "Nice technique!" I laughed too quickly to wonder if he was mocking me or knew the trick or both.
