Do you enjoy enacting the 'silly' in public?

Question

I'll explain my question with a possible anecdote of my own:

I go grocery shopping with me kids. In order to make things interesting I have previously obtained walkie talkies and we separate up into two separate covert groups with our list of objectives divied between us. We (both separate groups)are very careful around corners and utilize our coverperson to check to ensure the coast is clear and subsequently to cover us whilst we obtain the items in question. Etc.

In short, we turn a mundane shopping trip into an adventure. We get more than a couple odd looks. :) Does anybody else participate in similar activities?

Perhaps a better wording on my question would be: "Do you do anything to make mundane tasks unnecessarily and perhaps superficially eventful?"

Answer 1

Yes. This activity is also great stress relief. Every year for Christmas, I travel home and meet up with my brother (both of us are in our 30s now) and we have sooo much fun just being "silly" in public. He was singing his loudest at the mall Christmas songs and turning the shopping carts making noise with them... just attracting attention from everyone. It is sooo much fun, especially when you know you probably won't see these people again.

We also went on a cruise a few years ago and did some "silly" things there. Pushing all the buttons in the elevators, regardless of who was watching. He got the waiters to cut up his food for him during the meals. Some people were talking extremely loud and annoying, so we started doing the same thing (and they shut up).

During the family reunions, we do the walkie talkie things. We usually meet up in a small town somewhere and then the entire family (usually over a 100 of us) spread out and go shopping and what not. That's when we break out the walkie talkies... trying to talk in code and attract attention...

This is really fun to do and such a great stress relief. Some people are just embarrassed by the whole thing, but I look forward to it everytime we get together.

Answer 2

Not nearly enough people participate in such activities! You are a woman after my own heart! Salvador Dali once lamented "Why
can't I order dinner and be brought a flaming phone book?" You've gotta, gotta, gotta have as many laughs as you can. It's not what you do but how you do it that counts. You're giving your children some very fond memories too. Keep it up!

P.S. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
