So that sums up my weekend for the most part.
On Saturday I'm pretty sure I painted the face of every child in North Carolina for the Wake Forest Irish festival. It wasn't too bad. In fact, I was rather amused at the number of small boys who insisted on having rainbows on their faces. I was fine with this. Their fathers were not. It sounded something like this
Small-innocent-probably-not-gay-but-who-really-cares-boy: Ohh! I want a rainbow!
Highly-uncomfortable-father-who-suspects-son-of-harboring-same-sex-tendencies: Umm..uh..well, son, wouldn't you like a nice shamrock? Or a balloon?
Boy: Noooo! I want a rainbow! A big one.
Father: Well, eh, are you sure? You can get a nice big Irish flag!
Boy: Nooooo!!!
Father concedes. Jenn paints the biggest, straightest rainbow she can. Boy is pleased. Father relinquishes dream of having a star quarterback for a son. Begins to imagine son as lead in "Cabaret."
And on another note, we had to remove a 40 year old man from the library on Sunday for downloading porn on the reference computers. This seems to happen quite a lot.
