Some tourists are visiting the park, and I’m explaining the history of the place with them.
Me: “So, Custer State Park is named after General Custer. Anyone here know who that is?”
This question is usually directed at the kids to help them get involved. This time, an adult speaks up.
Tourist: “I don’t know much about him other than he’s in Clue.”
Tourist’s Friend: “Uh, Simon, that’s Colonel Mustard.”
Tourist: “Well, whatever rank he was!”
Thankfully, a sixth grader shot their hand up and provided the correct answer, saving me.
