way to much of a good idea

Relieve me of the chaos. I had the privilege of attending one of the most mind numbing events of my existence today. Think kids, lots of kids. Lots of "parents" that would rather stuff their faces than pay attention to what kids are getting into. Lots of overweight, overenthusiastic, hideously dressed employees. The hokie-pokie.....errrrr. And lastly a giant rodent that invades your bubble in an attempt to be friendly but without second thought would be gushing blood inside that suit while I stand there with swollen knuckles. Yes, the grand opening of Chuck E. Cheese's. Right up my alley really. Then there is the little guy, half my height but looks just like me. Loved it, even though he wouldn't say boo to anyone, especially the rat. When the hokie-pokie started we had both decided that we were done. Any other 6 year old would be all about it, but he is just way too cool for it. I can't blame him. He is mature for his age and really just wants to hang out. It would have been just as fun if we were the only two there.

It's over. I survived. But I foresee a recurrence of this event. Count to ten. We'll make it.
