So Reese and I are sitting enjoying our snack when the most uncivilized humans sit across from us. The Dad takes off his sandals and socks (socks with sandals is in itself appaling) and he puts his feet up on the table, "Mother rub my feet." I am assuming he calls his wife mother since she responded "Father, stop embarrasing your family. He laughed and put his nasty feet back on the ground, "I was just trying to be fun and young at heart."
I looked at Reese like are you kidding me, there's young at heart and then there's immature, they are 2 different things. He kept going on about his tired feet. But what made the whole scene captivating was the 2 teen girls, I am guessing they were both between 15 and 18. They had ordered the same frozen drinks as Reese and I, but unlike Reese and I who used a spoon straw combo, these girls used their tongues as scoops then one of them got it almost up her nose that is when a napkin should have come into play, but no she used her tongue, it was a circus act, it had to be cause that tongue was frightening long, then Father asked for a taste... he used his tongue...it was a family of circus performers, the slurps and grunts coming from the teen girls had Reese and I convinced that it was their way of communicating, I mean really there was no way they could speak with such large tongues.The girls were sharing a bag of cookies as well, they were also sharing with everyone what it looks like chewed up. Then Reese said somthing that was off topic but yet still related. "Mommy, have you ever seen a cow chew gum?"
The other lady "mother" looked over at us like she thought maybe we were discussing her daughters. (what would make her think that?
)
"No, Reese, but I have seen your biological father chew gum, the only difference between him and the cow was the intelligent look on the cows face."
(I kill me) then the 2 girls started fighting over the last cookie in the bag, they smacked and called names (they speak after all) the cookie falls out of the bag and the fight continues under the table. The parents don't blink an eye
Mother: Disney brings out the worst in people. (she turns and looks right at Reese and me.)
Father: Now mother we can't all be perfect. (he turns and looks at us too)
in the mean time one of the girls gets the cookie off the ground and puts it right in her mouth, no brushing it off first, no yelling 5 second rule, no kissing it up to God for safety, I was thinking ooh, your fathers feet were on that ground. Reese and I just bust out laughing then, we could not believe our eyes, the lady turned around so fast she nearly fell out of her chair, Reese being a fast thinker says, "And nobody told him we just kept going." (awesome cover up) the family then up and left, Father still in his bare feet.
"Phew, said Reese, for a second I thought there was gonna be some words."
I couldn't believe we could be so mean and judgmental, well actually yes I can believe it, we people watch and talk about what we're seeing way too much. A mother is supposed to teach her kids better, but I think leading by example takes all the fun out of life. even so I don't want my kids to be snobs.
"Reese, I think we hurt that ladies feelings, she knew what we were refering to the whole time."
"Maybe if she taught her kids how to eat in public there'd be no problem."
Reese and I were silent for some time, we cleaned up our area and headed off to try and catch the safari. The fast passes were for a return time hours later, we had ADR's at MK so we decided to just wait the 75 minutes in line. We turned around and ran smack into the same family (father was wearing shoes now) they were getting in line for safari, the girls were sharing a chicken sandwich and fighting over who was taking bigger bites.
This is where I could have been an example to Reese and shown her that sometimes it's best to just move on and say nothing, we don't always have to comment, even if we are sure that no one can hear us. I smile at Reese, I pictured myself looking innocent with a heavenly glow all around me, one of the girls shouts "Hog, you ate the whole thing in one bite."
and I said to Reese "Well if they could eat with their mouths shut they wouldn't lose so much of it falling to the ground."
So much for me being nice.
Really I am nice, I volunteer at non profit organizations. I look in on my elderly neighbor. I care, I cry at sad movies, I cry at sad stories, you need someone to worry about you I will do it, need someone to cry over your spilled milk? I am the one to call. Just chew with your mouth shut and use a straw or spoon when needed.
Reese and I decided not to wait in line after all and just head back to the resort for some pool time. We took our sweet time heading back to the front (that was cool to say) we stopped in at a few shops to buy postcards, i had to get some animal ones for my scrapbook.
We saw Divine, it scared me at first, this vine winked at me and that's just not natural. I like the CM's they are always so friendly, they want to know all about me, then they tell me all about them.
I called Kent and told him that we were heading back to the resort shortly for a swim. As we headed out we saw they had some characters. I just had to go, and Reese had no choice.
first up was ChipnDale, trouble makers I tell ya. (they would be fun to just sit and watch)
These guys are great, it was so obvious they wanted me to be their best friend
As you can see they each wanted to pose with a stuffed animal that Reese had won, at the end of picture taking they didn't want to give them back, they kept playing with them, they had the Dinos attacking eachother as well as Reese
Finally they gave them back. Dale was a little more reluctant to do so though.
We then met up with B'rer Bear. I sang "Born and raised in the briar patch."
he covered his ears, I say it's because he didn't like to be reminded that his and B'rer Fox's scheme to catch B'rer rabbit didn't work. Reese said it was a natural reaction to my singing. I told her you can think that, but you'd be wrong! B'rer Bear was a great sport about it all.
He was alot of fun with Reese, he would cover her eyes each time I went to take the picture, finally he settled down and let me take the picture.
There were some other characters there too, a few from Robin Hood, but by then lines were getting long so Reese and I just left to go catch the bus.
That walk felt like a months travel through the Sahara desert, at times I thought I had finally made it to the bus stop just to find that it was all a mirage. Reese ran ahead and said she'd save a place in line for me. I had no idead why all of a sudden I was so freakin tired, I was very close to death and the only reason I kept moving was because of the vultures circling above me. I was not going to be anyones lunch. I finally made it to the bus stop, Reese shouts "Here Mommy, I saved you a place in line." I look around and there is no line. "We're the only ones here Reese." Reese claps her hands and says "Hurray for Captain obvious, the bus left cause you were too slow." If I had the energy to take off my sandal and slap her with it, I would have.
I layed belly down on the cool cement. "I am so thirsty, I need water." And Reese who was so brave cause she knew I was too close to death to do anything to her said "swallow your spit."
WTH? that is my line, that is reserved for me and me only to say to the kids when they are whiney cause it's too hot and they are dying of thirst. She will pay for using my mean words on me. sheeeeeeeeeee wiiiiiiiil PAAAAAAAAAAY!!
On the bus I called Kent to meet me at the bus stop woth somthing icy cold to drink, but bring nothing for Reese as she is being punished and never allowed to drink ever again. Kent was there at the bus stop waiting with 2 refillable mugs of icy cool frozen libation. He thought I was just kidding about Reese.
We went to the room and changed for the pool, we had 7 hours till our ADR at MK, Reese and I just worked on our tans, I woke up an hour later and she was gone. (God I hope I wasn't snoring) I felt confused at first, had no idea where I was, then I realized oh, I have been abandoned at the pool. what ever. I pulled out the V.C Andrews book that I had been trying to read for months. For some reason I just can't get into this one. I people watch for a bit, there really wasn't anyone of much interest around. I headed up to the room and put on my jammies for a short nap and instructed Kent to wake me by 4:00pm, I slept so sound, I did not want to wake up, I could have slep till morning, I just could not recover from AK that morning, but I didn't want to miss our ADR's they were at Liberty Tree Tavern and the kids wanted to hit up some rides before supper, so I did get up and showered but there was no doing the hair that night. It was gonna be a hair up night. We met the kids at the arcade and then got in line for the Mk Bus. I was too tired to even think.
That was great. I had to take my son to the Doctor one day. It was taking forever. I woke up to "Mom, they are calling us, you were snoring." OMG!!! Thank the lord the drooling hadn't started yet!!!!!
