Well that was Weird

29

Weird Al that is! I'm still riding high and had to share with someone, so you all are it! I've been to shows of all kinds, but I would say that Weird Al with my kid rules. He played songs from every point in his career and is an impeccable performer. It was the boy's first show, and he absolutely loved everything. The crowd was a mix of kids under ten who knew all the new stuff, to grannies and grandpas who just sat and smiled.
The really weird came before the show. It was at the fairgrounds, and we were heading into the petting zoo when we ran into some friends. My kid sees a big burly guy wearing an Amish Paradise shirt and tells him it's cool. The guy stops and asks if we're going. So we start chatting and our friends leave. He tells us that he's actually Weird Al's driver, and yep, there's his credentials. We walk through the petting zoo talking while my kid visits the animals. Then comes the point when he winks. I didn't acknowledge it, just kept talking. He tells me some of the crazy stuff that's happened, and right before my kid walks up, tells me that women also come with the job and winks again and touches my arm. I told my kid once we were outside the zoo. His reaction? "Mom, you could've used him to get me close to Al. Take one for the team, MOM!"
My precious child, folks. And now, I'll go picture crazy.
