While attending a show at the Las Vegas Convention Center recently I came across the above sign. I was pushing a childless stroller and was denied entrance to the floor by a show official.
True Confession: I rigged the stroller as my camera dolly aka “Pram Cam”, and was loving having my own personal “schlep wagon” for my cameras, all the literature, etc.
Since I’d been walking the floor already for a good day and a half, without incident, I questioned the official about the rule. I was directed to the above sign. Honestly, I don’t know how I’d missed it! It was cleverly posted in a totally obscure location in between halls, at crawling munchkin level, about six inches off the carpet. No kidding, I had to lay on the floor to snap this picture. A quick poll on Twitter and Facebook as to the meaning of the sign yielded some great responses, but my favorite one was the title of this post:
“Beware of Pyrokinetic Children.”
Thanks Mac, for submitting that caption and cracking me up. I’ll have to remember it next time I’m at the LVCC. Meanwhile, I walked back into the next entrance with my Pram Cam loaded stroller. I figured it was all good. I’d left the pyrokinetic kiddos at home.
