I just put my foot in my mouth deeper than its ever been before.
And after I do, what's the first thing I do? Post about it on GAB. It just shows how twisted I have become.
Here's what happened: We have a package here at the hotel, where you get a night's stay, and passes to three local exhibits, a farm, a eagle/raptor center, and a science museum. It's basically designed for the kids.
I had a family coming up from Mass. on Thursday for this package...it was a woman, a man, and their grandson...they booked it wayyy back in May.
I just called them to confirm how many people were in fact coming, so I could get their package together with their tickets, and the man said to me, "My wife cancelled that..we're not coming."
I said, "Oh....well sometimes the front desk can be lax with the messages...when did you cancel?"
He said, "Last Saturday. Two days after my grandson died."
Feel. Like. Shakespeare.

Eh, that's not so bad. It would've been bad if you would have replied with, "So it'll just be the two of you then?"

I've been to that raptor center, it's actually kind of cool. They get injured falcons and owls from all over the country, rehabilitate them, and send them back out in the wild if they can.
A small child would sure feed a lot of those birds.

Further raptor-jacking- The other cool thing is when they find injured birds that have to lose a wing or something, they dont put them down, they put them in a cage with a female who is also missing a wing and let them breed.
The owl or whatever goes from thinking "Shakespeare, one wing. I'll be dead in a couple of days" to "Sweet, all the food I can scarf and I get to boff 24/7 with the adult TTJ's daughter of owls. Could life be better?"

"Do you mean died or dyed his hair? Because my son dyed his hair purple and trust me! I know where you're coming from. I wouldn't want to be seen with him in public either."

I dunno, i found the death of the zoom-zoom kid funny. I mean, come on, he died in a CAR accident. How much more ironic can it be?
