Overheard inside a mock submarine console at an aquarium in Virginia:

Mother: "Go ahead, play with the buttons"

Little boy with hands in pockets, dubiously: "Are you sure I'm allowed
to?"

Mother: "Of course you are, touch anything you want."

Boy: "Really?  Anything?"

Mother: "The museum people aren't stupid.  They wouldn't put anything
out here if they didn't want you to touch it!"
