Note: This series of events happened on June 15th, Father's Day.

You know how some kids buy their paternal parents hideous or useless gifts that their dad is supposed to like for Father's Day! Well, my father kinda of intrepreted the message differently. He decided that this Father's Day, he'll actually try to be a father(The gesture was mildly spoiled by the fact that since it is Father's Day, I did have to pay for our tickets) . So he took me to this theme park called the Seven Flags**.

This really made me feel like a kid again. In fact, last time I was in a theme park, I was six. It also rekindles fond memories of childhood. Well, not so fond.. It involved me, balloons, wires, a really, really, dry day, the wood on the old-fashioned roller coasters, and one of Benjamin Franklin's stupid discoveries. Namely, static electricity. The fire burned down quite a bit of the theme park. Strangely, I was banned from that one, on grounds of instigating a fight. I still think the clown started it. (Hey, that man with a giant red nose did have a face only a mother would love )

Annoying Flashbacks aside, my father drove us to the theme park.

Then we headed for the most traumatic experience in the entire theme park. We waited in line for tickets. We waited in line. And waited. And waited some more. Seriously, is this a theme park or an airport??***. By the time we got to the end of the line, my knees were quivering. My ears were ringing. My hair was all over the place(Mostly due to frustration). Seriously, is that a scary theme park or what??

We finally bought the tickets($49.95 each plus taxes) and semi-cheerfully headed for a ride. It was called the Ace****Then we headed for what Americans probably consider the most important and scary part of the ride-the line. So, again, we waited. And waited. And waited some more. I didn't keep track of how long it took(the watch I bought from the entrance broke and the warranty was expired somewhere halfway through the line)***** , but it was definetely a long time.


Note:In case you're wondering why I had such a weird title, it's because I liked the pun. No other reasons. Sorry to disappoint you conspiracy buffs.

*Shipping and Handling not included
**Names have been slightly altered to protect the writer from lawsuit
***Urban Legends tell of a guy who met a pretty girl, married her, raised a family, divorced(with the help of a friendly lawyer, also a fellow quener who settled the legal stuff for free), and had the children tall enough to pass the meter for a ride while in line. Don't believe the rumors, though^
****Names have been changed to protect the writer from lawsuit. If you want a hint, it also has something to do with(and rhymes with) poker, and it's higher than an Ace
*****Don't ask.
^I find it hard to believe that lawyers would do anything for free.
