THE BEST OF

From Our July, 1993 Paper Edition

 

ll, it's summertime and time for vacations! After watching Kelly & Margaret's whale vacation videos from Boston, I'm madder than George Perrot at a weight watcher clinic. These McCarty kids are spoiled with all these fancy schmancy vacations.

When I was a kid, we didn't go on vacations. I remember one year I had to write a paper on "What I Did on My Summer Vacation". I turned in a paper with the word "Nothin'" written across the top. We didn't do anything, and we didn't go anywhere, but we loved it!

We didn't need to go anywhere to have fun. Our Mom and Dad would send us off to the local park. At the park, we were taken care of by some deranged, shell-shocked, ex-Vietnam vet park director with missing digits. He would teach us how to make plaques, lace, and once in a while he would uncork a fire hydrant and let us run through the water screaming like crazed animals. Except for being molested, we loved it!

And how about Rick. His kids have been to Cedar Point, Disney World, and lots of other amusement parks. I'm sick of those kids, "Ohh, we went on Space Mountain", "Ohh we LIKE the Demon Drop". Yeah, I bet when they're on the ride, they are screaming like little babies with their eyes closed, and puking their corndogs all over their parents. When I was a kid, if we wanted a ride, we got in an empty cardboard box at the top of the basement stairs and pushed ourselves off. Sometimes we got hurt and sometimes we didn't, but we loved it!

So, don't spoil your kids with these powder puff vacations. Instead of out of town trips, take them running down hills, to the zoo, or just to the park. But, most importantly, and read this very carefully… Please, Please! Do not take videotapes of them! We've seen enough to know that we have seen enough.
