Mana mana (do do do-do do...)

Ha! I love this. Who brings engine degreaser to an art gallery, anyway? Did they have those smashed cars on display recently? ;)

The best part was, the toddler was banging it on his stroller, and it was in a spray bottle...I asked the dad what it was, and he picked it up and showed it to me...it was all I could do to keep a straight face.

It's not always easy to be good--even for big kids. I went to an exhibit here of antique cars and (horrors) forgot and touched one.
I was immediately scolded. I feel guilty, now and then, even after all this time. I promise that if I'm in YOUR gallery, I'll be good.

I'm sure you would be good..usually I'm pretty patient with people, unless they're smirking and being snarky about it.
