Shhh...

So, I have a little secret.... my mom and I are closet Chuck E. Cheese fans. We've gone twice in the last week with my dad and the boys and we want more. My mom is hilarious- she's getting addicted to winning tickets. Here's the scene: dad sits at the table, using the excuse of guarding our things; mom and I take turns playing a game with HL and following AW as he bounces from one game to the next, pressing any buttons within his reach. Whenever we can, mom and I sneak in a game of our very own to see how long of a trail of tickets we can produce. There are worse vices out there, you know. At least we're all enjoying ourselves (especially the boys), no one's health is endangered, and it's perfectly legal- albeit a little embarrassing. We went just this evening and HL got a streak of 229 tickets! I thought he was going to pop a gasket, he was so excited! :) AW put a token in the pinball game then insisted on me holding him so he could he see. I must have looked quite interesting- standing on only my right foot, my left foot resting up on my right knee with AW up on my thigh; all this while using both hands to stop a stupid little metal ball from disappearing from view. Now there's some good leg building exercise for you! Oh, and did I mention that AW had snuck a second token in there, forcing me to do this for two games! Little stinker.
