not lovin' it

yesterday we had an outing. and on the way there we happened to drive passed a mcdonald's. or five. no doubt will had to notice every. single. one. so, we told him on the way home we would stop so he could play on the slide. the kid never eats while he is there. he just wants the slide. the place is packed. as we were eating we noticed a particularly rowdy group of kids. from the same family. let's see. one had a horribly gross runny nose. another had brought her bag of apple dippers to play on the equipment. and all of them seemed to have lost their socks. and at one point, will came over with a small part to a toy that he had found on the play equipment. somewhere. all sticky. with something. well, the last time i looked there were rules to play on the equipment. must wear socks. no food or drink inside the play area. no toys. and common sense would tell you not to bring your child to a mcdonald's play area if they were sick. especially with the swine flu lurking in every crevice of the universe. i wanted to let that family know the rules are for everyone. not just everyone but them. jackoffs. i also want to send them the bill from my kid's doctor's office. you know i will now be there this week. i wish i would have asked for their address.
