Today we were watching an episode of fringe when my hubby suddenly pauses the show and tells me this anecdote:
"One time when I was at boy scout camp... I was sent out on a snipe hunt with the other boys, and I just sat aside watching everyone else run around trying to catch it. The camp counselors were getting upset with me because I wasn't participating. I looked at the counselor like he was an moron and said: "I'm not an idiot. I know what a snipe hunt is and I'm not going to waste my time...""
Yep, at 12 he said that, and yet the counselor got upset with him for being smart enough to know what it was and choosing to not participate. He still finds this ironic because it's a prime example of how society values blindly following along more than the ability to think for oneself, lol!
