disneyland?

By me • Nov 3rd, 2007 • Category: Detroit, family, fun stuff, nablopomo

So Sara, you’ve recently turned 30, quit a full time job with benefits, uprooted yourself and three cats to move to Detroit to go back to grad school, and only recently have you become employed after a 2 1/2 month search for a job. Now what?

I’m going to Disneyland!

It’s the Swedish version of Disneyland, and I dare say that it was just as much fun as that place in California. And had just about as many photo ops. Who would have thought that a 2 1/2 yr old would have had just as much fun shopping for cheap, hard to pronounce, funky looking furniture as her 30yr. old aunt?

In fact she had so much fun. Was so very excited. And so incredibly overstimulated that she had a major meltdown in the Marketplace. Easily a 15 out of a scale of 1-10. It was ugly. It was ear-piercingly loud and shrill. And so horrifically embarrassing to those of us in attendance over the age of 2 1/2 that we were seriously considering leaving her there and telling her mother that we had sold her to the circus. But we didn’t, because I almost broke down laughing when, at the end of it, she pointed at me, face red with tears, snot bubbling out of her nose, and screamed “NOOOOO SIS!!!!! I NOT CALM DOWN!!!!!! I SHOPPING!!!!!!!!”

We are going to have so much fun in about 10 years.

  1. Hey that was a fun and interesting experiment bringing her there. Even I (of all people) was ready to wring her little neck by the time we checked out.
    You need to put new pics of the girls up when you get a chance. I know you have them since I gave them to you.
    Good luck on this week and you will do great on your exams and paper.
