Now, truth be told, I didn't think there was a chance in Hell that school would be able to get to the Museum and back with a bunch of kids within 3 hours...Seriously, what are the odds of that? 1 in 100K?
Naturally, since I have awful luck, they were the last kids left...
Yeah. Apparently, I'm "that guy."
As always, the ride home started with Ethan wanting to hear Garrett. It's progressed from cute to borderline frustrating because he's picked up enough to know when I'm trying to slip one by him...I guess it's my fault for thinking I can pass Lil Wayne off as Garrett, huh?
Either way, I guess today the song we started on wasn't a usual suspect because they were all confused. In this particular song a harmonica is used...Now, for those of us lucky enough to be raised in the 90's (i.e. Born before 1986 but after 1980) a harmonica isn't something new since you probably own at LEAST one Blues Traveler CD...
However, for a kid, a Harmonica is apparently mind blowing. They know drums and guitars...but trying to introduce them to a harmonica while driving is like trying to describe what the color red looks like to a deaf & blind guy...
I wanted to do the motion/noise but since I follow proper driving protocol, I keep my hands at 10 and 2 at all times...
So I just did the noise...
Which they already were hearing...
Which just confused everyone.
As such, they became alarmed at how Garrett could possibly handle all the instruments.
Time to blow their minds...
"Guys, the person playing the harmonica is named Eli and he's in Garrett's band too"
As this rocked Ethan & Owens world, no doubt convincing them that the guy who came over to play was an out & out fraud, Summer piped up:
"Two peeble? Dat's silly Bictor!"
At this point, I feel I should extend a formal invite to Eli to come perform for the kids alongside Gare-wet...I think everyone would appreciate Garrett having some help...
Plus, Ethan would freak out if two guitars showed up...throw a harmonica in and I fully expect to be cleaning up blood after their heads explode.
JK...
So, because I was feeling lazy, we went to McDonald's today...Seriously, I know there is a 75% chance I grow an extra limb or just drop dead in the middle of my own (deep in the future) wedding thanks to it...but McDonald's is amazing...
Where else can you take 4 humans to eat for $18.03? Not to mention, 3 toys...and a high five from the guy who gave us the food cause he saw the kids and my beard and put 2 + 2 together, I think...
That or he was congratulating me for being a good father. Either way, great high five.
And, by the way, awesome work McDonald's - The SpiderMan figurines that shoot a hard plastic web were big hits...
Not to mention potentially very dangerous...who came up with these toys McDonald's? Irvin Mainway?
However, let me just say, these trips might come to an end if they don't actually start eating the food they tell me they want...my patience is growing thin...
We're going to go finish off these masks...and then, hopefully, I'll make a video and show you my brainwashing efforts...
I'll give you a hint:
I say "Let's Go..." and they say?
i'm looking forward to this vid
