::BREAK THE HABIT, PLEASE::
As part of my work, I interact with museum visitors -- showing them cool science, talking about our exhibits, directing them to our auditorium -- but today, my deeply ingrained habits became embarrassingly obvious. I was asked by a woman, a stroller-with-baby and toddler in tow, where our restrooms were. I showed her to them, and my usual end salutation followed:
"Have fun!"
That was enthusiastically expressed as they rounded the corner
into the bathroom. Sheesh.
