Facing my fears

Jul 21, 2008 17:26

A long time ago, when I was three, I remember crying. It is documented on a photo if you look through one of my family's old dusty photo albums. I faced a man who has haunted me in my dreams.

Chuck E. Cheese

At work, they like to celebrate birthday months. The birthday person (or people) get to choose where to eat. Since I was the only July Birthday I chose Chuck E. Cheese. You know for the games and pizza. Sounded like great idea, but my fear came back to me when we came across the robitic band on stage. The band consisted of giant animals, rodents, and one italian dude.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear alan..

Every one sang as the cake was brought out.
I blow the one candle because 28 is too many...

Out of the backroom and shadows, I come face to face with Chuck E. again.

We hug.

We take a picture.

Eh.

Guess things aren't as scary as when I was three.

But really though, there are things that definitely haunt me still. I don't want to be scared any more.

It's time to grow up...

birthday, chuck e. cheese, memories, pizza
