peanut wonderings: is there a place you dread going?

It's a tie. I hate walking over to my kitchen sink. My dishes whisper mean things at me all day for neglecting them so I just avoid it. But I think I equally dread going to this place just as much as I hate my stuffed porcelain sink. See if you can figure out where it is by this short video:


Welcome to my personal purgatory: McDonald's Playland. The last time we visited, we were blessed to witness the following chaos: 

the small jungle gym shaking violently

the chicken nugget vomit coating the newly-remodeled tile floor

the vacant eyes of mom's as they scanned their iPhones and avoided watching their kiddos

the incessant shrills of ten-year old boys and girls (aren't they too old for that thing?)

the smell of grease permeating the too-small parent sitting area

the groups of adorable moms I wish I was friends with avoiding eye contact with me

the large amount of food on the ground available to my ten-month old

Walking into any playland just makes me nauseated. I don't know what's worse: the greasy food or the screaming kids, but my stomach knots within seconds of stepping in that place. However, Mya loves it. She can't get enough of it so I take her there so she can be among people and scream with the other children because she knows she is not allowed to scream like that at home.

**I sent this video to a good friend of mine after we got home. She texted me three words back: bathe them well. Don't worry...we did.

  2. "bathe them well" LOL! Yes I am so glad we don't even have a mcdonalds in our small town! We have gone to the playplace in the city and it is GROSS! But hey, if the kids love it, we do it for them right? xoxo

  3. You're a nice mom for letting them even play in there! I'm the same way, makes me sick. If my kids ever play in a playland area it's because someone else took them there. Agreed, they're nasty.
