I dropped Pook and his friend off for two free games of bowling. Dropped. Them. Off. This is a huge milestone for me, but my friends who also have biggish kids aren't impressed. I need someone with a whiny seven year old to really appreciate this. I learned today, as summer is nearing its end, that kids could register to get two free games of bowling daily this summer. We will be back.
And we need to go back, because my usually dawdling child did not quite get the point of the whole thing. Their goal is to spend as much time enjoying free and air conditioned play away from home as is possible. My goal is to get things done while not having bored kids. Perfect for us all.
Except, after dropping them off, I filled up the tank with gas and came home. The place was about a mile from here, so no big deal. I pulled out some things I need to do, started, then answered the phone.
"OK, we're ready."
"What?"
"We're done. We're ready for you to come get us."
"But... it's only been 30 minutes."
"Oh. Well, we're ready."
So I drove back. But we reviewed the concept so that we can try this again, perhaps with more friends next time.
- free
- air conditioned
- play with friends
- away from home
- as long as possible
