The madhouse that is McDonald’s
Aug 2nd, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
Since I was out of town most of last week and haven’t been to the grocery store yet since I’ve been back, dinner grub in my house is in short supply. Kent had a meeting tonight, so I took the lazy way out. I took the kids to McDonald’s for dinner. And then I remembered why we don’t do this more often. The kids in the Play Place have lungs, and they use them! What was probably no more than 10 kids sounded like 30. I had a headache when we left, but I also really enjoyed watching them (my kids especially) have a great time. I need the reminder sometimes to appreciate the wonder—and energy?—of being a kid. They are growing up before my eyes, and I want to make sure they have lots of magical moments to remember. Like an unplanned trip to McDonald’s, and pulling out of the drive-thru line at the last minute to go inside for the Play Place instead. I was a minor hero tonight, which was more than worth the headache!
