What's for dinner?
We needed to run some errands, one of them involved the local mall. I told my wife, Michele, to go do what she needed and Rachel and I would play on the food. Yes, you read that right. The mall set up a little play area for children - good idea. For some odd reason, they made the play area food - not so sure about that idea. The only thing I can think of is that this said play area is near the food court. Here is our day playing on the food and running around the food court.
Mmmmm, watermelon.
I'm not this hungry!
Giddy-up!
This sign that is posted in the play area doesn't make me feel a whole lot better. Only once a day?
At one point while we were running around the food court, I overheard a lady say to, I assume, her husband, "That little girl, running around all by herself, what a shame."
Now as I don't see that I have to be inches from her all the time, I usually follow her at about 5 or 6 paces. This couple walked right between us as I was snapping pictures left and right of my daughter. Did they not see me? Sometimes I just want to ask people,"What is running through your mind?" I have not idea how she did not see me nor understand that I was her father.
Are you my daddy?
The play area is pretty good. The only bad part of it is that if you hit it at the wrong time you have a bunch of 12yo running around with inattentive parents. Now, I'm not a violent person, but if one of those kids hurt my child, I'll have to knock some sense into the parent. Really it's not the child's fault.
