'What Are Those People Doing In There Mommy?'

I love those smoking lounges in airports, especially the ones in American airports.  The ones in American airports seem even weirder, even more anachronistic.  Here you have this big room with big windows, and the passersby are peering inside as if it were a museum installation.  All that’s missing is the little sign saying:

‘This is what life was like in the fifties.’

That's what I'll tell Poppy when she asks about these dens. 

older Poppy: 'Wow...real live smokers!'

me: 'No, it's just a 3D exhibit.  People don't really smoke anymore.'
