Here's something I haven't had for you in a while, a work story...
So
yesterday I was sitting at the reference desk after one of our bigger
programs ended and one of the regular grandmothers walks up to me. She
starts asking me about various age appropriate programs that she and her
husband (Who looks like the grandfather from Jurassic Park, so much so
that I refer to him as John in the office) could bring their
granddaughter to. I start rattling off programs and the last one I
mentioned was yoga for preschoolers. Once the word "yoga" left my mouth
she made a face and said that they were wary of yoga because of "All of
the Middle Eastern stuff and that they are good Christians..."
As
taken aback as I was, I just looked at her and said that since the
class was targeted towards preschoolers that I was pretty sure that
there was no actual "Middle Eastern stuff" and it was more like little
kids in a circle on yoga mats stretching. I assured her that I'd check
for her, so right now I'm waiting for the yoga class to end so I can
tell the yoga instructor about the ridiculousness of the grandmother
from yesterday, as well as report back to our good Christian
grandparents.
