The Second Coming?
This morning, while walking from the bus stop to work, 2 tourist boys came running past me at high speed. I know they were tourists for several reasons, before you ask. First, our schools aren't out for the summer yet. Second, Washingtonian families don't walk around downtown en masse during the work week. Third, the dad had on a fanny pack (that is a dead giveaway).
Anyway, the dad yells out to one of the boys, "Messiah! Slow down!"
Messiah? Can that really, really be the child's name? I thought maybe I mis-heard, but then I couldn't think of another name that sounded remotely similar to Messiah.

Ah yes the Fanny pack is a dead give away, especially when coupled with a camera around the neck. I never got the whole fanny pack thing...they are perhaps the worst fashion accessory ever!
Messiah...hmm at least I bet he doesn't have a lot of friends with the same name, say if his name was Matt or Dave or something "usual"
I agree re: the fanny pack. awful!
Well, that is true about Messiah. But what do you think his nickname is? Messy?
Ha Ha. When I lived in NYC and commuted through Times Square I had a daily Frogger game with the "Fanny Packers."
pld, that is quite funny. I may need to take up a similar tactic this summer.
