I ferry a few kids about to various clubs on a rota with other parents.
This conversation occurred in my car last week.
Kid 1 : You know that Bohemian Rhapsody is about Freddie Mercury?
Kid 2 : Yeah
Kid 1 : And that he was gay?
Kid 2 : Yeah
Kid 1 : And he died?
Kid 2 : Yeah
Kid 1 : Well, if he had kept himself pure that wouldn’t have happened.
Kid 2 : Eh?
Me : Eh?
Where does a 10 year old get that from? He is a product of a Catholic School and is going to the only High School in the borough that was under subscribed. If that is what they are taught no wonder people aren’t exactly knocking the door down to go.
Proud that Kid 2 is my lad. To him Freddie was the guy in the yellow jacket that got 80,000 people to sing.
