Thomas has a friend at his preschool that just turned 5 and celebrated his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I’d never been there before. I never want to go back. It is full of screaming kids, although they are having a good time. I guess it could be worse. If only I’d taken my friend’s advice and worn some ear plugs it might have been bearable. I didn’t eat any food because I knew that we had pizza at home and there would be plenty left for me, but it looked pretty good and Thomas stuffed it down quickly so he could get on to the cake and then to what he loved the most…playing in the hamster-looking tubes. He did ride the carousel a few times, drove a car with Stuart Little, and sat on a Clifford car, but he was enjoying the sweaty stuff much more (hamster tubes and curly slide).
He didn’t want to leave and was already asking when we could go back before we even got to the car. I wanted to tell him never, but I didn’t have the heart. Next time one of his friends invites him to Chuck E. Cheese’s for a birthday party, Woody can take him!
