i can't beleive that what i just experienced here at work actually happened! i'm freaking amazed! well, i'm in the planetarium. the last show just ended at there was an anxious toddler. he wasn't even as bad as all that. believe me, i've seen worse. anyway, the mother took him out to the little back room to wait for the show to finish. the reason i know this is because during the end credits, i walk out the side of the tech room and open the main doors to start allowing people in. anyway, as i open the doors leading to the dome area, i heard people arguing about noise. a couple had attacked the father for having a "loud" son. what i loved most was that the other people had responded to the attack on the father and were defending him. you could see that the man was angry but he was holding it back because his younger son was at his side. you would think that people would have said something about the noise but they told that other couple that if they couldn't handle the supposed noise, they would escort them to the box office to get their money back. AWESOME!!! people amaze me sometimes. sometimes they give me that special feeling that mankind can actually be kind and understanding and not obnoxious. i went to the box office and warned the leads what was about to happen. i asked for a couple of planetarium vouchers and hurried to the man, his wife and his kids and gave them the handfull of vouchers and apologized. if he didn't have tickets to the museum proper, i would have excorted his family into the special exhibits. hell, if those other people who defended him were there as well, they all would have gotten into the museum free. how can people come to the museum and expect to find a childless environment. i joke about school kids having to be at home, but even i know it's my own wish and that it's impossible. anyway, YEAH MANKIND. BOO IGNORANCE!!!!
