Visiting Museums can
go two directions: horribly dull or wonderful and stimulating. I have been to both, so this is an area in
which I feel qualified.
In Bern, Switzerland,
there are many fine museums, including one based on Albert Einstein and his
time in Bern. The one we chose that day,
since a two-year old was with us, was the Communication Museum.

What made it
wonderful was that Benjamin walked along with me, sometimes holding my hand,
but always staying with me. The wheels
on the stagecoach were a big hit. And there were so many displays for little guys like him to touch and manipulate.

Then we came to a
room which posted that the film presentation was out of order.
Oh, well. This
will give the little guy some room to walk around…so I released his hand in the room designed to
hold about 50 people. He was so happy in
the dim light.
The light got dimmer,
and dimmer until it was total black. Oh, God!
Help me!

That is when I heard
the giggles, squeals, and happy shrieks.
Something brushed by me, giggling.
Then the dim light came on, and I saw the little guy way in front, and
he froze. Once the light went out, he took off again, gleefully running in the
pitch dark.
It felt like I was in
shallow ocean water with a very big fish/shark brushing by me.
Mommy came looking
for us just when the light came on, and Benjamin was close at hand. “Let’s go, buddy.” He took her hand, leaving me in the dim light
as it turned black.
