Memories...sweet Memories

I am sorry to tell you all that my computer won't let me comment on other people's blogs. I do not know why, but it is annoying the heck out of me. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I am reading everyones' posts though :)

Has anyone ever been to Chuck E. Cheeses? I have been there three or four times... possibly five.
The last time I set foot in one of those places I was about eleven. The second you walk into one of those places the noise just about knocks you off your feet. And then (if your there for a party) the group of kids you are with gets called on the loud speaker: "If you are here for (birthday kids name here) birthday party hurry to your table before Chuch E. Cheese eats all your pizza."
What I would like to know is what a six or seven foot tall mouse is doing at a CHILDRENS arcade in the first place. I'd like to know what happens to poor ol' Chuck everytime the 'Pest Exterminater' pays a visit.
I don't know if anyone else who has gone to Chuck E. Cheeses noticed, but in the giant-rodent band,
Chuck E. has a horrible case of lazy eye. If you watch one of the mouse's eyes will be staring at the ceiling while the other will be trained on the audience.
I find it a little creepy, but a bunch of little kids think Chuck E. is the bomb. Of course, that is not all the little kids. The ones who don't think Chuck E. is the bomb, run to there parents and beg their mom or dad to carry them the rest of the day. Kinda stinks for the parents though doesn't it? I mean, you got the little maniac kids who get so wound up on ice-cream and cake, that they start screaming at the top of there lungs if something mildly exciting happens.
The parents' who are stuck holding terrified children have to deal with the splitting head-ache that comes with all the high-pitched jubulant screams. And sometimes the guy in the costume feels bad for the unhappy kid and decides to come over and cheer him up.

but when the five-year-old screams, the guy in the costume turns around and walks away, feeling bad.
I must say, however, that I really did enjoy my trip to Chuck E. Cheese. I used to ask my aunt alot if she would take me some time :) my brother and I went a couple times. One of the times Tim got enough tickets to buy something he really wanted. A light up light saber.
That was back when the two of us were scared of the dark. I remember once, it was either Tim or I that had a nightmare, and Tim got out his light saber turned the switch and the two of us went downstairs to get Mom.
I can't tell you how many times Tim and I went through the house in the dark with that thing. when it eventually broke, we were old enough not to be afraid of the dark...as much. That was a long time... ago.
