CEC = Pick up joint

So many bloggers write about really interesting things that happen in their life. Not many events in my life are blogging worthy. But Saturday I had a very unusual interaction that is worth blogging about.

My 7 year old was invited to a beach birthday party and at the last minute it started raining and the back up place was Chuck E Cheese. I had already RSVPed to the beach and couldn't back out just because I hate CEC. I can think of no worse torture than Chuck E Cheese on a rainy Saturday afternoon but off we went. I do believe I get another star sticker on my mommy chart.

The place was absolutely packed with screaming kids and was so loud I can't believe there won't be permanent damage. I'm madly putting the last of the CEC tokens in a machine when a nice looking man stand beside me asking me if I think I'll win lots of tokens. I said the first thing that crossed my mind "I hope not, I'm trying to get rid of these so we can get out of this noisy place." He laughed told me he was here with his neice then asked me if I can take a compliment. Oh boy, not only can I take a compliment but I could really use one or ten so I said sure. He took a step back, eyed me up and down and said "You are a very attractive lady". Uh, what does one say to that! "Thanks!" And we soon parted ways. Three days later I'm still on cloud 9.
