On the Metro

E-Grrrl and I are riding the Metro together into Brussels. She has two of her favorite stuffed animals with her—a polar bear and a seal.
A street musician steps into our car and starts strumming his guitar and singing. He’s kind of good looking but the music is lame. E-Grrrl and I exchange looks and do a subtle eye roll.
When he’s done singing and starts passing the hat, I lean over to her and say jokingly, “Ok, this is the part where you hand him Seal!”
To which E-Grrrl replied slyly, “No way. I’m not giving him a seal of approval.”
I laughed all the way to the next stop.

Did you hear they are considering allowing performers on the DC metro? to ease the boredom they said ... it's just in the early talking stages.
Very clever.
