When I'm staying at the spa, sometimes a yippy little terrier or a nervous chihuahua comes in. Whenever I see a dog like that I think, I hope he is not rooming next to me. I don't want to have to be right next to all the noise. I hear that humans experience a similar thing when getting on an airplane, humans don't want the noisy little kids or the stinky people sitting next to them. Well, on Saturday, my family was the family that you don't want sitting next to you.
They went to Gainesville to see the spring Orange and Blue game. It is quite a production and takes some preparation to get both of the Things ready to go to a football game. Thing 2 was strapped to Alpha Female's chest and they had a bulging diaper bag. As they walked towards their seats, Thing 1 started to whine a little bit and Thing 2 started to cry because she wanted to go to sleep. They could feel people looking at them and pleading with their eyes that my family not sit next to them. Unfortunately, somebody has to be the loser in that situation and on Saturday it turned out to be a college kid that they sat behind and Thing 1 kept leaning on. She was kept happy for most of the first half by drinking red Gatorade straight from the bottle. She thought it was delicious, but a little messy.
They left the game just before halftime and went to get something to eat. Once again they were scorned. The college kids had no sympathy for poor Alpha Female trying to push her double stroller through a crowd, while simultaneously trying to feed Thing 2 and get Thing 1 to rest instead of whine. However, Alpha Female got the last laugh when she changed both of the Things' diapers on a bench in a public space. They said they had fun at the game, but it sure sounds like they felt old; there's no denying that they're no longer young college kids.
