Banshee


Banshee

Last Sunday we went to the Irish Festival. We went early because they had mass (in Gaelic and English), it was free if you entered before 11am and it was going to be a hot day. Despite our efforts to avoid the heat, it was so warm we bypassed most of the kids activities.

To hide from the heat, we ducked into an Irish Magic Show. Michael really wanted to be picked, but fate had other ideas. However, Alejandro was able to be a volunteer for "Tears of the Banshee." Actually, I think it was Alex trying to figure out how the trick worked that black-balled Michael; Alex was supposed to hold a sign flush to a funnel, so as to catch the Banshee's tears that streamed out. Alex, being a curious young man, kept separating the poster and funnel because he wanted to see the banshee cry.
