Going Bonkers isn't JUST a euphemism. It's the name of the kiddy palace where I took my son and his friend today. I think you know the kind of place I'm talking about. You pay to get in and then you ditch your shoes. After that you can climb around inside a giant indoor maze with slides and stuff. When you're bored with physical activities, you can whine to your ATM/Mother to give you money for tokens for the games. When you're done with the games, you can buy high fat, over priced pizza and junk food.
We were supposed to go to Big Surf, but the weather was sabotaging our fun. I'm the type of person who feels really guilty about things I can't control - like the weather raining us out of the water park. Anyway, I gave them a trip to Going Bonkers as atonement for my crime of letting it rain. They had a fantastic time. I passed out dollar bills like a drunk in a strip club. Toward the end of the day, they started bickering over really important things like who got the most M&Ms or which Chinese finger cuffs belonged to whom. That was my cue to take the show on the road and get the grumpy, sugar stoned boys home. All in all, we had a great time. We stayed for 5 hours, which I'm sure you will all agree makes me mother of the year.
Here's the kicker... I took a book with me to pass the time. About three paragraphs in, I realized that I had already read this book before. (Momma's girl!) So there I was for 5 hours with NOTHING to read. I should get some kind of trophy for that.
