Four Cheeseburgers & Three Hot Dogs Later

To continue the saga of our grandsons visit, he came here with the intent to break a record of eatting a cheeseburger or hot dog everyday of his 8 day visit. We are on day 5 of “his” vacation and I cannot look another hot dog or hamburger in the face. We have been to the zoo, Universal and the circus, even Costco and have had so many nitrates that Randy has begun to glow when sitting in the dark, trying to escape for a few minutes of quiet.
We have purchased a snow cone for $12.00 and a box of popcorn for $8…..I have begun to realize that our Italy vacation is just not going to happen this year, as our vacation “fund” has gone to help Jaden pursue his dream of eatting junk food every day. We have forgotten what the wonderful sound of “wheel of fortune” sounds like when Vana is turning letters, but we now go to sleep counting “angry birds” or singing “doodle jump” as we fall asleep exhausted from riding the Simpson ride more times than I care to remember.
Tomorrow will find us headed to the Long Beach Acquarium where Jaden has already asked us if we will be passing an In and Out Burger on the way. I lied and said that they closed down all the hamburger joints down by the beach, because the sea gulls were allergic to the smell of hamburgers…….Don’t judge me! We have watched Rango, Captain America, and Mars Needs Moms, gained 10 pounds from all the junk food and the little darling never sleeps. With all the miracle drugs that have been invented, where is the pill that you can give 10 year olds that makes them fall asleep around 7 and sleep until 10 the next day? Any politician that can invent that will get my vote. Randy and I have decided that we are not in the right shape to keep up with a 10 yr old. When Jaden turns 30 we will invite him back. Maybe by then, we will be rested and have enough money saved up to feed him again.
