Play Date with my Ex....awkward.....

So, mom said we were going on to have a play date this afternoon, sounded awesome. In my mind, this meant that we were going to go hang out with some other kid or kids, lots of toys, more adults to play with, basically just a grand ol' time; sounded grand! I mean, who wouldn’t want more people around to amuse them? Mom and dad can get a bit…dull, but for some reason, strangers feel the need to do all sorts of weird stuff to entertain me, so I’m pretty much always down with that. Sadly, apparently, I was way off bases with my understanding of what a play date is meant to be....or more to the point, who is doing the playing and who this excursion is meant to entertain. So, for all you kids out there, brace yourself, I have some bad news, play dates are not about you! A play date is really a chance for your parent to take you to someone else’s house, plop you down on some sort of padded floor, surround you with toys, and forget about you! I’ve never seen such wine consumption or heard such useless banter! Damn it woman, play with me! Entertain me! Put down your glass, this is my play date! Needless to say my objections were in vain. We’ll see how they like a 3 AM wake up call.
