At the museum were several cases of a parent absorbed in some reading material at a display while their child/children ran around the room, getting between adults and other exhibits, playing with the audiovisuals on certain displays, and even getting into fights with other kids, with the parent nonchalantly saying, "if you don't behave, we're going to leave" and then tuning their kid/s out for the next ten minutes as their kid started to push/shove/kick someone else's kid. And while child-friendly, this really isn't a children's museum. <BR/><BR/>Strangers don't want to be forced to babysit your kids in a museum, people! If they are high energy, bring them to appropriate venues! And if you don't want to discipline 'em, don't have 'em! (You can see that it's a major pet peeve of mind.) <BR/><BR/>You are welcome to bring your well-behaved angels around me anytime! :-)AGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241567321225195878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176732908069622424.post-72223111177217241932008-02-29T11:33:00.000-06:002008-02-29T11:33:00.000-06:00...maybe that was my aversion to all the children ...<I>...maybe that was my aversion to all the children running around...</I><BR/><BR/>I had no idea you suffered from kidophobia!

I was eager to see how they were going to present the ideas of an ancient, esoteric religion to a bunch of 21st century families with a bunch of kids in tow. They did a good job, all things considered.<BR/><BR/>As a fan of Neoplatonic pagan religion, I came away thinking that Mithraism was a a religion of upstarts; maybe like the Heaven's Gate cult with more street cred and less suicidal tendencies. And the science of it all, as usual, was a little hard for me to follow. :(<BR/><BR/>You also failed to mention the three or four quinceanera parties that went their to take their pictures. A little bit tacky, if you ask me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
