More Moments At The Museum

Let me start by saying most primates are terrifying. I literally just had one of those spine shivers just now while writing to you about it. Something about their all-too-familiar eyeballs creeps me out. Eww, I just had another shiver. (Sometimes I verbalize while I’m writing. Ok, I do this all the time, but I mean sometimes I say the things I’m typing out loud while I type them. Just now I said-half-whined my ‘eww’, shivered and Tom asked, “Are you writing about monkeys?” The man knows.) But despite the creepy primates this exhibit was my third favorite because, well, animals. It was a little sad at times to look at the extinct (or nearly so) animals, but mostly it was pretty beautiful. One of my favorite moments was actually of a brother walking his little sister around and reading to her. I don’t usually have the courage to snap pictures of strangers, especially kids, because my camera is not-at-all inconspicuous and I’m afraid some parent might come screaming into my viewfinder, but I couldn’t resist for this one. If you want to imagine what it’s like to people-watch Tom and I at a museum, he reads the text out loud and I usually just stare and listen. And take pictures of course.
