have you had someone put a lighter near your ear to heal an earache?
gpt
No way!  How does that even work?  
human
according to the article, the author's father would roll up newspaper in a cone and light it thinking it would heal the earache
gpt
Wow!  I am thankful my parents didn't follow traditions to cure earaches.  I wonder if he has an exhibition in Baltimore at the Parenting: An art without a Manual.  Sounds like that father should have his own display!
human
haha seriously! what do you think are some of the things on display there?
gpt
*relaxed posture* Remember the Simpson's?  Homer and Marge?  I can picture lots of displays with some of their antics through the years.  I am sure it's full of well intentioned unconditional loving parents who made innocent mistakes or had crazy fears.  
human
yes i'm seeing now the the exhibit is both heartbreaking and hilarious, it must span all sorts of parenting debacles
gpt
Absolutely!  Typically, anyone can be a parent.  Even Charles Manson had a son.  I can't imagine growing up under his shadow.  
human
whoa i didnt know he had a child! did the child even know him?
gpt
I don't know, but there is an exhibition that uses art to portray families like his and other dysfunctional families.  I have heard it is an emotional exhibition.
human
yes it sounds like it. especially that exhibit portraying his mother who committed suicide and abusive father
gpt
Very sad indeed!  I liked the piano analogy that expresses that children are like piano's that just because you have one doesn't mean you can play (or parent).  It reminds me of the hindenburg tragedy.  They brought aboard a 356lb grand piano on the flight.  
human
what happened in the tragedy?
gpt
The Hindenburg crashed and caught fire.  Some climbers found a piano on top of Britain's highest mountain in 2006.  I know the Hindenburg piano caught fire, but it makes you wonder how a piano made it to the top of a mountain.  
human
it sure does, and do you think the piano caused the plane to crash or it was just an odd coincidence that it was aboard?
gpt
The piano didn't cause the crash or else it would be famous like the piano used to record 2 famous songs the Bohemian Rhapsody and Hey Jude.  Those songs are amazing.  I wonder what songs the BBC broadcasted in 1930 instead of news reporting.  
human
i know do you think it was classical music? It must have been something to appeal to the masses
gpt
I am not sure, but the news must have been really dull to end up playing piano music.  Too bad we don't do that today.  We should also be allowed to equip our cars with flame throwers to prevent carjacking like in South-Africa.  Now that is newsworthy!
human
haha that would be newsworthy, and dangerous! yikes
gpt
*sighs* Yes!  Good things our trunks aren't made out of wood anymore or that could be a serious fire situation.
