A couple weekends ago my husband and I took the kids to see Blue Man Group in Boston. If you’re not familiar with this act, basically, it’s three guys that are painted blue that beat on drums and a variety of other unconventional instruments…like various sizes and shapes of PVC pipe. I really appreciated the creativity and humor that the show offered and my kids had a ball.

However, I think my experience was quite different from my kid’s. They were enjoying all of the cool effects of paint splattering everywhere, lights flashing, and at the end there was a huge toilet paper fight. How cool is that for two little boys?

I, on the other hand, Mrs. Green Mama, was looking at the show with a totally different perspective.

“Hmmm. I wonder if that paint is non-toxic? Do you think they recycle the toilet paper? I wonder if those are compact fluorescent light bulbs?”

And the list goes on. I guess it’s hard to go blue when you’re green, but despite my silent queries, I really did enjoy the show as you can see by this photo. Of course, it didn’t hurt that it was taken right after I put my program in the recycle bin. (o;
