Jan. 4th, 2020 09:24 pmA conversation from today:
Me: ::relays an incident I witnessed earlier, wherein a mother told her two children Wrong Information about otters in front of me and I had to restrain myself from correcting her::
Katie (my sister): Oh no, you can't do that!
Me: I will admit that I have done that, but only in zoos.
Katie: Parents are allowed to be wrong sometimes.
Me: Parents are allowed to be wrong sometimes. They are not allowed to be wrong in the zoo when the informational plaque is right in front of them.
Sean (Katie's husband and the one person I've recommended The Magnus Archives to who has actually become a fan): That is the most Jonathan Sims thing I've ever heard a real person say.
I am recording this conversation for posterity because I've never felt so simultaneously flattered and vaguely horrified at myself.
Also, if you're going to give misinformation to children because you are too lazy to read something a foot away from you, then you don't deserve to be at the zoo.
