- Taking your kids to the Atlanta Zoo during spring break is a bad idea. Especially when you get there at 11AM. Because there will be NO PARKING!
- It is pretty much guaranteed that when you have driven all the way to Atlanta and sat in traffic waiting for non-existent zoo parking to materialize, that your youngest will wet himself and that you will be bent like a pretzel in your minivan, in a BP parking lot, attempting to change his diaper and clothes. And trying really hard not to cuss.
- After promising your kids a visit to the zoo and then reneging there will be fussing. Until you promise to immediately drive them to Monkey Joe's for 90 minutes of inflatable slide goodness. Is it bad I want my 38th birthday party there?
- Watching your precious under-4 toddlers is nerve-wracking when you watch them getting bounced around and plowed into by bigger, older kids who aren't paying attention to their surroundings. It's also a lesson in control as you attempt to not strangle said bigger, older kids.
- Rough-housing on inflatable slides guarantees a 3-hour afternoon kid nap. Ah, bliss.
- Rough-housing on inflatable slides guarantees three fussy kids after said 3-hour afternoon nap. Go figure.
- The best thing about a random day at Monkey Joe's? Ending it with some Gil Gerard and Buck Rogers. Meow. Damn that Princess Ardala could prowl.
*DAMN but I love my thesaurus.

Monkey Joes sounds like a lot of fun. We don't have those around here.
Mmm...Cadbury cream egg...Must.Have.One.
That sounds like an absolutely miserable day!
Sounds like a fun filled day...for the kids. I'm glad you survived. Have a Hoppy Easter.
Yeah, my thesaurus and Google are my new best friends.
Happy Easter!!!
(You deserve a break - hide the eggs in the neighboring town!)
OK strike my plan to take The Kid to the zoo tomorrow, come to think of it...
See this kind a thing is why it's a good thing I'm not a parent cause I wouldn't have thought of Monkey Joes...I woulda just drove to the "shady" part of town & told them we were on an Urban Safari pointing out the rouge pimp & prowling hookers...oh look kids theres a pack of junkies they're the scavengers of the Urban jungle not unlike the Hyena's of Africa.
I never thought that a three hour kid nap would be such a source of ecstasy.
Yeah, why the hell do we have to pay the price for a three-hour nap?
