At a rough estimate I reckon two thousand children, all screaming, shouting, yelling, came through the museum today. This does not include the mums, grans, grandads, dads, aunts, uncles and others who accompanied them, screaming, shouting, yelling and crying out for coffee or gin and tonic!
Kids get away with much more when with the indulgent old people than when with mum and dad. They therefore play this to perfection and it is rare to see a grandad, always a grandad, pay for something in the shop. Sometimes I am amazed at the energy levels of the old folks although I realise that once the kid is back with mum they will be taking another week to get over it!
The kids are loving this exhibition, the ones doing the workshops are also enjoying themselves and I have noticed that all too often it is the mums who enjoy this most. Either they enjoy being among the exhibits or they are enjoying the craft workshops. Others of course just enjoy a couple of hours without the kids bothering them! One told me she had cleaned the entire house, the first time since the holidays had started!
She refused to do mine...
Before I limped out the door I went through the prodedure to discover which 'House' I was now in. This did not take long and I appear to be in 'Gryffindor.'
Whatever that means!
