Seriously?

I'm now mentoring my third teen, and every now and then my mentor liaison emails suggestions for activities. Usually they are good ones, but today's was for the following event:

Between the Church and the Cemetery: 19th Century Mourning Customs and Clothing--a special display of mourning clothes and customs in recognition of Memphis' most devastating event, the 1878 Yellow Fever epidemic.

I certainly have no interest in seeing that and can't imagine any teenage boy being excited about it either. There's nothing fun about death, and even if it's not all about fun, there's certainly more relevant things to learn about. I think we'll skip this one.
