The Ailwee Cave is an ancient cave located in the Burren region of Co. Clare. We stopped there during a road trip last Wednesday. My parents, Diego, and Joy popped in while I took a time-out to get some work done on my mother’s laptop. This is what happens when I let my folks go to a tourist attraction on their own:
Tour guide: Does anybody have any questions?
(crickets)
Tour guide: Really? No questions?
Isa: Yes. What are those bones over there?
Tour guide: Bear bones.
Isa: Can we feed the bears?
Tour guide: No. Any other questions?
Diego: Do you leave these lights on all night?
Tour guide: No. Anything else?
Roberto: What were the seven dwarves mining for?
Tour guide: Excuse me?
Roberto: You know. Which were the seven dwarves? Hompty, Dompty, Floffy ….
Smart-arses.
How I’ve I missed them.
