Thanks.…but no.….
“83 percent of all establishments that label themselves “Ice Cream Emporiums” have a menu item called “The Kitchen Sink”.” –Gullibleinfo.com
This little blurb reminded me of my absolute lack of desire to visit any sort of “Ice Cream Emporium”. Or any other fun based emporiums for that matter.
I realize that I have a child now and that visits to places I don’t REALLY want to go will happen, and really, I’m fine with that. I’ll go to the 3rd grade choral ensemble, I’ll attend the 8th grade production of Medea, and when his favorite food in the world is burgers I will schlep him to Red Robbin for special occasions.
My only request is please, please to my beautiful baby boy don’t ask me to go to a “Fun Emporium”, a “Good Time Emporium”, a “Funatarium”, or a “Funapalooza”. The last “Emporium” I went to was Grandma’s in Duluth and it could have easily been called a “Crappyfoodarium”.
I guess this all lies in my fear of giant robotic characters playing bad Bluegrass music…and people in giant cartoon animal costumes…they just creep me out. Forced fun by “spontaneous” song, striped uniforms, and “outrageous” hats just gives me the willies.
If you want fun we will go to Delano’s for Bluegrass music, cheeseburger pizza, and fantastic chocolate cake…I’m sure they have ice-cream…and your Dad will wear an “outrageous” hat.
