Aaargh. I hate bounce houses. And all the other fun that goes around with them. Well, it's not that that I hate, It's just the other kids. And the moms. And the noise. And fearing some 5-yr old jlob will bounce on my kid's head and take away the toy car he's riding.
I spent 16 years in the television business. I worked, by turns, as a writer, director, producer, casting associate, and the gal who gets everybody’s Starbucks order. Later, I spent time as a counselor at an outpatient program for adorable teens with un-adorable psych and addiction issues. Working in the orbit of actors, rock stars, comedians, and teenagers prepared me for my current gig as the stay-at-home mother of a kindergartner named Bob. Now, it’s like the circus has come to town everyday. I am living the dream.
Fantastic. How you say so much, with so few words. My college writing professor would've fallen in love with you.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the sheer joy of bounce houses. And I'm a little annoyed they didn't have more of them around when I was a kid!

ReplyDeleteThey need to make these for adults. Perhaps they would be less ornery and miserable if they started their day with a bounce.
