OMG, I’m going to kill them.
First:
We pulled into the Big Apple at Grafton. I wanted a coffee (it had already been a looong day), I thought there might be something we could pick up for dinner, and it’s just a cool place to stop – if you’ve never seen it, it’s, well, it’s a giant apple on the side of the 401, with a petting zoo, a burger shack, and a country store. Between the two of them, over the course of the 18 minutes we were there, they each said at least three times, “Why are we here?” “What are we getting?” “This is overwhelming.” And my favourite: “Whatever you want, Elaine.”
Fine, on to Sandbanks Provincial Park. We parked, I set up, I poured myself a glass of wine, and then I said, okay, so what are some of the things you might like to do. You know that look teenagers give you when they really can’t be bothered to contribute to a conversation? Yeah, well, that’s what I got.
Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that they’re not easy to please – they are. It’s not like they don’t find different places and learning new things interesting – they absolutely do. It just that they had not put, and were uninterested in putting any thought or decision making into anything (including dinner).
I did get one piece of input: when I asked them earlier in the week to do some investigating of the area, it seems LR did ask her husband to look into things, and he did come up with one good restaurant idea. HE came up with it. She just repeated it.
Sororicide is a thing.
I just love learning new words, Sororicide. HMM I feel like I could have used this many times myself.
Love the Big Apple stop and frankly I usually have NO problem finding too many things to buy there for snacks or dinner. But that’s just me. As for LR getting her husband to look into things, I can’t stop laughing! Thanks LR for the morning chuckle to start my day!
