Say what ? SPEAK UP! I can hardly hear you.......Today was Adventure Day, and since pickings were kinda thin I ended our foray in Adventure by taking him to a McDonalds with an indoor playhouse. After he told me what he wanted to eat he asked if he could go play and I said yes....I think he took his shoes off on the fly...Got over there with the food and started looking around the crowded room for a table to collapse at..he motions me over and says "I reserved this table for us...Come on Granny..." Granny, being no fool { Well, not a complete fool ..} had never set right NEXT to the playhouse...After folding our coats to make a sort of cushion on the rock hard pew I realized the noise level could be compared to a jumbo jet taking off...or maybe a Rock band using extra amps......I hated to drag the poor kid off since he gets so little pleasure in life, so sat there and enjoyed the antics of a young Father and his twin daughters who appeared to be about a year and a half old...Judging completely by their actions..in size they were probably miniature at best...The idjit took them to the van one at a time and secured them ! Even I could have easily carried both of the tiny munch kins...Coulda lost both of them ! I didn't realize what was happening till it was too late to meddle... Buzz finally flitted by to sample his juice and I told him if he wanted to ride his bike we had to leave...NOW ! I'm sure I'll recover in a few days of peace and quiet since Mommy dearest snatched Buzz away from us tonight. Mumbled something about getting him back in his usual routine { rut ? } before school on Monday when she called...Son said they just wanted an excuse to eat at a fancy restaurant over here.... Hubby planned to take him to the woods tomorrow and down where the Springs come out from under the ridge and meanders out across the fields...Sigh...Maybe Christmas...Unless he tells her we let him set up later than 8 o'clock....Jeannie T ____________________________________________________________ Moms Asked to Return to School Grant Funding May Be Available to Those That Qualify. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4cf1f4a37814741ac8m06duc

Those McDonald Playlands are really something else. Usually (when we were still going to McDonalds) we would make it a point to sit as far away from the play area as possible. The kids really love playing there & as long as they aren't in my lap or table, I can sit by & watch with a smile on my face. You really can see some real unusual goings on with parents & children. (We don't go to local McDonald's any more...b/c most of them up here & in the area are franchises run by the same man. The majority of his help are illegal aliens. They hauled out 10 illegals out of our local McDonald's about a month ago. Also hit Del Taco & one illegal alien had 8 Social Security Numbers which were all stolen.) ~Jen ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <SOUTHERN-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2010 11:17 PM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Bye, Buzz.... > Say what ?
