EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the 20th century, a little girl named Daisy, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, embarked on an adventure to the Egyptian exhibition. Accompanied by her unmarried aunt, a middle-aged spinster with a stern demeanor, Daisy couldn't contain her excitement as they approached the display cases filled with ancient mummies and statues. As they approached the first exhibit, Daisy, with a naughty grin, pointed to a mummy and whispered, "Look Auntie, that one looks just like Donald McGill's unattractive maiden from his comic postcards!" Her aunt, taken aback by the unexpected comment, scolded her, "Daisy, that's not a funny thing to say! We're in a place of learning and respect." But Daisy, undeterred, continued her playful banter as they explored the exhibition. At the next exhibit, she pointed to a statue and quipped, "Auntie, this one looks just like Donald McGill's old maid!" Her aunt, now red-faced and exasperated, warned her, "Daisy, your morals need work! We're in a museum, not a comedy club!" Despite her aunt's warnings, Daisy couldn't help but find the humor in the ancient artifacts. As they left the exhibition, her aunt couldn't help but chuckle at her grandniece's quick wit and double entendres. And so, the little girl's visit to the Egyptian exhibition became a cherished memory, filled with laughter and learning, proving that even the most serious of places can be made light-hearted with a bit of fun and a dash of mischief.
