And were startled when I beat them all three games. Take THAT! Think you can out Bullshit your momma? Think again buckos! MUHAHAHAHAH!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8212; On the way to the store with TBF and the Pup &#8211; I was highly amused to find them both car dancing to the same song, happy as clams as they bounced bounced bounced&#8230; in exactly the same way. Too. Freaking. Cute.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; Cute little girl as we were getting off the tram grabs her little friends hand and points and whispers excitedly. I just grin and wink and stage whisper &#8220;I know! Blue hair is COOL huh?&#8221; At which point they both giggle and nod vigoriously and run to tell mom about it. Heh. Lessa and blue hair &#8211; the height of california fashion sense. or something.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; Surprised that during the parade the wooden soldier dudes were actually PLAYING the horns and drums with the music pumped in through the sound system and using their wooden feet as counter beat. Fucking excellent &#8211; I so did not expect them to do anything but mime playing.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; Lesson learned by TBF on Splash Mountain: Riding in front with the fat girl = BIG SPLASH, even if most of it did hit said fat girl. Heh.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; Oh! Fireworks? REAL fireworks? BOOM loud enough to shake the ground AND set off car alarms. hehehehehe!<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; While I relaxed at the hotel in kid free time, the Asshole and kids had &#8220;The Best Time Mom!&#8221; dancing in the streets of downtown disney. Minor injury on the pups behalf, she fell and scraped up her elbow and knee while skipping with daddy, but otherwise, so much fun was had they named it one of their favorite times the whole trip! They were nice and added &#8220;It&#8217;d only have been better with you mom&#8230;&#8221; though I&#8217;m not sure I believe them. *L*<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; oh! Back at disneyland on the first ride of the Matterhorn &#8211; the pup was riding with dad, and gave him a fright when the Yetti growled at her from the darkness and she was reaching for her seatbelt RIGHT NOW. She was all about getting OUT of there! Scared the Asshole, and after that we made a rule that her hands were in the hair, on the handle, or clenched together &#8211; but never, EVER was she to try and unhook her seatbelt. *L* She didn&#8217;t try it again, after seeing that the yeti was NOT going to actually come after her&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; Asshole got TBF&#8217;s wife drunk on AK moonshine the first night. TBF&#8217;s wife was STILL drunk the next day, a fact that the asshole, who drank twice as much, found completely and totally amusing. *L*<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; back to the matterhorn. At one point, TBF offered to ride with me simply so I could say I had him between my thighs&#8230;.. [cue peanut gallery!] &#8230;..They gave us our own cars though. Damn it all.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; On the Grizzley WHite Water Raft ride&#8230; &#8220;Hey babe? Why are people buying those ponchos&#8230;..&#8221; Oh, you might get a little wet, don&#8217;t worry about it dear! &#8220;you sure?&#8221; Of course I&#8217;m sure! It&#8217;s a waste of money. Come on! <\/p>\n<p>a few moments later &#8220;Babe&#8230;. are those seats as wet as they look&#8230;.&#8221; of COURSE not dear! [everyone sits, and Asshole makes a face&#8230;] &#8220;Liar.&#8221; cackles. &#8220;Well, my seat WAS wet, but my ass did a good job of drying it off&#8230;&#8221; Cackles some more. <\/p>\n<p>See dear? Its a nice easy calm water ride! &#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s why the seats were all wet!&#8221; oh well see there? they dribble water on you &#8211; a nice refreshing sprinkle &#8220;Uh huh&#8230;..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the end lesson learned &#8211; sitting with the fat girl and getting rotated around backwards before the drop? gets you SOAKED. MUHAHAHAHAH Just as the Girl. *chuckles* Oh, and mom lies. of COURSE your going to get wet. its a white water rafting ride for heavens sake!<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; &#8220;You know, you are amazingly difficult to find for a woman with blue hair.&#8221; uttered by TBF when finally finding us after detouring for a smoke break. Moment&#8217;s later. &#8220;How the hell do you expect us to find you by your blue hair if you SIT DOWN? who said you could sit?&#8221; uttered by the Asshole when rejoining us after he and the older kids went on a ride the pup was too short for. Hee. See? I don&#8217;t stand out NEARLY as much as I thought I did. heh.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212; How could I have forgotten? We met Cruella DeVille. The conversation went like this as she looked at me &#8220;My god, child, what happened to your HAIR!&#8221; with lips curled in disdain&#8230;. I said &#8220;It turned blue.&#8221; She said with a look of horror. &#8220;How very unfortunate!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cruella of the black and white thought MY hair was unfortunate! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! And the look on her face when the pup actually HUGGED her was priceless. After the picture she wiped off her clothing as if she caught the plague. It was by far the best Character meet ever! *L*<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>More later as it occurs to me. *grin*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Misc. things that I forgot to mention when penning it all down: &#8212; My kids taught me to play Bullshit.
