Watching E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial with the kids. Because I’m a good parent. It’s held up better than I thought. Pretty timeless. The kids are entranced.
Well, Actually
Gas Station Cashier Dude: “Are you a LARPer?”
Me: “What? Me? Well, yes, actually I…”
Dude: “You look like a LARPER to me. Do you think LARP combat favors smaller people?”
Me: “Well, actually it does tend…”
Dude: “What are you, like 6’6″?”
Me: “6’4″ actually.”
Tiny high school girl in line behind me: “You seem a lot taller than 6’4″ to me.”
Dude: “Do you know martial arts?”
Girl: “Your hair makes you look taller.”
Me: “I need to go. Kids… car… leaving now…”

My Oldest, age 14: “Whats wrong?”
Me: “Remind me to never stop for gas in Martinsville. It’s an odd place.”
