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.

Love it!! And now you have this story dutifully recorded ... something we sometimes forget to do as parents. E-Grrrl is clever like you ;-) .

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.
