Really, I'm Not a Pervert!

The War Between the Childless and the Childed

Published on June 10, 2004 By blogic In Humor

Parents give me strange looks at the science museum.

I can tell they're looking at me. Who is that guy? I don't see any kids with him. Does he want to molest my son?

The problem is, I love science museums. I'm fucking insane about the Exploratorium, in San Francisco. They have this incredible holographic screw: you reach out to touch it, and your fingers pass right through. I know, doesn't sound like much, but it is.

But you know the parents are thinking: Why's he near my son, next to that screw?. Hey, it's not my fault screws are indecent, and the hologram is really cool!

You're not alone. I get those looks too. I was at one in Florida a couple of years ago and was messing around with a static electricity one for awhile and people kept wondering where my kids were.

lol! that was great. I feel you though, I really do. I get the same look when I go into the toy store without any children. Its awful, its not my fault I'm in love with electronic toys! I've been told that when I have children, I will give the same look.. *shrugs* who knows..

Yeah. Kind of the same way, when my wife and I go into the local dog park (she really wants to get a dog), she's worried that the pet owners are watching us, suspiciously.

Well, here in NYC, there are enough weird people in any store, that the toy stores seem to be safe for adults. On the other hand, the Toys R Us down the street is such a dump, with lots of stuff littering the floor, that you'd probably not want to hang out there.
