Christmas 2000 I took two of our daughters and a favorite niece to London and Paris for ten days (the wife had to stay home). We went to the Louvre, saw the three hour long line and in typical NY said no-f-way, went to the front and asked the semi-cute jeune-fille if there was another way in. She pointed to the Port de Leon (Lion's Gate) a block away and said 'peut etre a la'. We took the walk and found a second entrance with zero persons on line. Entering that way you encounter the Mona Lisa pdq. Our youngest stood in front of it for a good ten minutes, just staring. I was thinking, 'cool, she's got a taste for art'. Just about then she turned to me and said, "I don't get it."
LOL! That was, by any standard, a perfect story. Thanks, I needed that.
LOL!!! I don't either................
