Scenes from a theme park

[slipjig3]

One nice thing about Blogathon is the opportunity to get caught up on all the posts I forgot to do earlier. Case in point: the recap of a trip to Six Flags Great Escape I made with boy-child Nikolas a few weeks ago:

1) The name of the ride "Raging River" is spelled correctly on the ride's official sign. On the don't-ride-this-if-you're-pregnant information sign, though, there's an additional G thrown in for good measure. I'm not sure if "RAGGING RIVER" is a typo or an editorial comment.

2) Graffiti of the Month: "I'm writing on the wall! Take THAT, society!"

3) Notable dialogue:
Nik: (about the gondola ride we're about to get on) Dad, I'm kinda scared.
Me: Don't worry. This one's a piece of cake.
Nik: [excited] Cake?! Where? WHERE?
Me: No, no, I mean it'll be easy as pie.
Nik: Pie?! Where? Wh- Oh. Wait. I hate pie.
Me: [splorfles]

Ragging River = Best Menstruation Euphemism Today.

Admittedly, I seem to be rafting along it at the moment.
