Funny Story

We were sitting around the house on a Friday evening discussing as a family what we should do that night.  "Family Movie Night" had worn a little thin and we were ready for something different.  I suggested the Art Museum (it's FREE).  Other suggestions included bowling, roller skating, ice skating, and the Art Museum again...that might have been me (it's FREE).  Then our helpful and very creative 10yr-old suggested, "Why don't we go fire walking."  We all stared at him in dumb silence.  Taking that as a clue to continue he began to walk gingerly across the floor explaining, "You know, when you walk across hot coals."  He high stepped across the kitchen and back.  We did not know what to say.  Where would you go for something like that?  Would they allow 10yr-olds?  Is it legal?  We thanked him for his suggestion and went to the Art Museum.  It was free and also the night of the screening of "Baby Jane" for the local LGBTQ community.  I think fire walking might have been more fun.
