Classic Questions
The Public- love 'em or hate 'em,for most of us they are an important part of what we do. But boy do they ask some odd things! My brother was cooking some fish over the fire one evening, and was asked if the fire was real. Well, yes! Then he was asked if the fish was real. Well, yes! He was hungry!
I know people who have been asked if food was real, if babies and children were real, if weapons were real, if anything you can think of was real, including one person who had to be stoped from picking up buening charcoal to see if it was real.
Also the "do you live like this all the time?"
Another thing, is parents giving children miss-information. "No, of course that fire's not real, that would be dangerous! its done with lights" "No, that armour is plastic, go hit it" (this child was fortunatly stoped by the re-enactor before it could injure its hand on hard steal "Sure you can hit your brother with that sword, they were doing it so it must be safe!" (again, re-enactors made sure the child did not get hold of said sword, and parent was told yes, they are dangerous.)
