Saturday, November 29, 2003 I am not sure whether I'll take Melissa out tomorrow or Sunday. What I know is that I should come up with better activities for us to do. Right now we are stuck up in a movies routine. Not that I think there's anything wrong with the movies. Actually, I think there is a lot to be said about them. They are magical and they transport you to other worlds and other experiences. Just like books. OK, so I take her to bookstores too and buy her an occasional book. Problem is I certainly take her to the drugstore to buy lip gloss a lot more often. Again, nothing wrong with lip gloss. Lip gloss is an essential part of any girl's life. You can't live without lip gloss. Or hair products. Maybe I should take her to a museum, but I hate museums. The stuffiness, the dullness! Should I make her do things that I don't like just because they are supposed to be good for you? I did take her to the Metropolitan once, to a medieval exhibition, if I remember correctly. Prior to that I had been to the Met twice, and one of the times I went almost directly to the bar on the terrace. I love the museum itself, I find the building gorgeous, but the art does not move me at all. Much of what's in there is really not my style and I have zero patience for staring at paintings. I can hardly believe I am the same person that (or should it be "whom"?), as a child, would spend hours looking at other people's paintings and painting myself. Something happened to me with the hormonal upheaval of adolescence that made me a much happier person but an infinitely less erudite one. I also took Melissa to the Museum of Natural History once and that was way more interesting. But should I make museum going a recurring occurrence? Should I get her into one of those classes for kids at the Met? Am I supposed to "cultivate" her? Am I supposed to expose her to what is usually perceived as culture? I still think I am just supposed to spend time with her and listen to her when she feels like talking, not even pushing her to talk to me. Her mother said that I take her out more than I am required to do and that she is thankful for that. Still, I got the nagging impression that I should do more. I am still at work now, waiting for Mario so we can go out for a nightcap. 12:46 AM
