"Daddy, what are we watching?" asked the tyke, a short and chubby child about six years old, with light brown hair.
"It's called Frozen," said Riley.

"Is it as good as Moana? What about Zootopia, Tomorrow Land or Lion King?" asked the other child, a small girl, four years old, almost five, with platinum blonde hair.

"Better," replied their father.

He checked the time. 2:14PM, 2/9/2022. The convention had been delayed nearly a month by very heavy snows. He resisted the urge to check those doubles. It would be incredibly silly for a man his age. He pulled into the parking.

"Everybody out of the car. The show starts in six minutes, and we shouldn't be late."

The show opened up with a 3D animated short, like the kind you would get at the parks. By the end, the whole theater was in stitches. Then the movie started. They oohed and aahed at the Let it Go scene. His kids gasped when Hans revealed his treachery. One woman in the back shouted out, "He's up to no good!" When the credits started to roll, there was a round of applause from the whole crowd. His kids started to leave, but he stopped them.

"Not yet. There's a special scene after the credits, and a special treat inside them."

Sure enough, near the end of the credits, he suddenly pointed up. His kids' jaws dropped.

"Is that your name daddy?" asked the girl.

"Sure is. Historical consultant."

"Whoa. So cooool," said the boy.

He brought them back to the car.

"You know, the queen looks a lot like mommy," said his son.

"I'm dropping you off at the hotel, I have to go to the conference. Be good for mommy, ok?" said Riley.

"Sure. I pinky-promise," said his daughter. He noticed crossed fingers out of the corner of his eye, and smiled.

Later that day, he approached the podium.

"Introducing the Chair of German History at Harvard University, Riley Aslaugssen!"

"Thank you speaker. As we all know, history is important. But history is the story of mistakes just as much as it is the story of success. For every great victory in history, there were a thousand tiny defeats. And for every act of great nobility, there were a dozen petty tragedies. When we look back at history, it can be easy to judge these mistakes. But we are history. Every day, we make history. Our decisions, one day, will be written down in a book by dusty old professors just like us. And rest assured, we have made mistakes to. Don't judge the past by the mistakes. Learn from them. Recognize that those mistakes just made them human, just like it makes us human. Remember to err is human; to forgive is divine. Let the 2022 American Historical Association convention begin."
