There was also a Star Wars Phantom Menace ride that would take you around the park. I remember begging my parents to go on it but we didn't.
Jono's got a point. I can remember my dad decking my mother upside the head and that happened when I was two.I also remember getting pulled through the bushes by a dog when I was three.Depending on whether the memory is traumatic or just really fun the wee little bugger might remember it for a long while to come.

I've been building it up for a week. He knows what rides he wants to go on and what snacks and toys he wants. It's gonna be fun. Hell, we're starting out at IHOP with his favorite breakfast.

Hell, we're starting out at IHOP with his favorite breakfast.I've never really given it any thought before. But I did, just now. Of the members here you're part of the small number of people who have kids. The only others are AngryBrute and Chakas. I certainly haven't had kids. And I know I won't ever get the chance to have them.But in some measure I know a little bit about what being a dad is like. Among all the members of my family, in case of something bad happening, I am the next legal guardian over my little niece. And I was chosen for good reason. If she didn't have a dad already, I'd be there to fill the role.You do something for me charlie. Don't make just that trip a good one. Make the wee little bugger's life a good one. Of all the kids out there who get shit parents and a shit life... do your absolute best for him, for me.
