Ok, if it doesn't cool off pretty soon, I'm going to lose it.
It is way too hot to take my daughter to the playground, so we either head to the library, the mall, or to one of the Mcdonald's around here that has a playplace. She gets some social interaction, and we don't sweat our butts off (much). Granted, when it's time to leave, the car is practically in flames, but oh well.
So, last week I took her to one of the bigger McD's here and immediately regret my decision. They were promoting the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and were handing out big foam swords to all the kids. Well, guess what, they were beating the shit out of each other with them, and often hitting smaller kids in the process.
I'd like the Darwin award to go to the marketing genius that thought this one up.
So, we hang out for a short while, needless to say, my daughter sees the carnage and doesn't want any part of it, and we end up leaving. Not once, did I see any of the parents reprimanding their brats for beating each other up with those stupid foam swords. Shit like this makes me reconsider home schooling.
