February 17

I am a chaperone with a group of middle schoolers who are touring the Interactive Television studio at the university. The students are excited because they are going to meet the ‘science guy’ whose show originates from the studio. We meet him but he is barely recognizable. Instead of his ‘science guy’ persona, he is just a guy in a flannel shirt and jeans who appears bored and uninterested to meet and interact with the students. His arms are crossed and he is leaning on a stack of cardboard boxes. The students appear confused and disappointed until they spot a motorized jeep driving down the hallway. They recognize it as the jeep that is featured on the science show although it is much smaller than expected. The driver invites the kids to hop on saying he will take them for a spin. They all pile on, some of them barely hanging on due to being so overcrowded. As soon as they drive off, the science guy directs me to follow him down a narrow path between stacked cardboard boxes. I do wondering where we are going. We stop walking and he grabs one of my breasts. I am so surprised that I don’t even say anything. Instead, I am relieved when I realize that I am wearing a padded bra and that all he touched was fiberfill.
