Perhaps not in the best of taste...

So, I went to the National Museum of Scotland's exhibition on Mary, Queen of Scots, which was very interesting and made me a bit more sympathetic to her on the grounds of her intelligence (though, good god, did she have bad taste in me). I was a little surprised to find they were selling replicas axes for the kiddies in the exhibition shop. Perhaps

Replica axes? BUH? WTF? It's like some kind of scary existential jokester was in charge of the gift shop. No wait, there WAS such a jokester in charge. I see the vast potential for similar objects being sold at the Tower of London. ;)

There was a very happy child running around trying to chop their sister's head off with one. So I guess there's that - their mum clearly wasn't going to buy it for them, though!

Ah, sounds like you observed a relationship bound for family therapy. ;)

Replica axes.

That just feels like something they'd do over here in the U.S.

I had read about this exhibition and wondered if I should be jealous ofthose who got to see it or not.

I'm going with jealous. At least a little.

It did make me a bit more sympathetic to her. But she had superlatively bad taste in men.
