Day at Barrymores

I just spent the day with a ton of Middle School kids at CJ Barrymores (A family fun park)

Let me tell you--they have tons of energy! I don;t think I am letting any cats out of any bags though, because people seem to know this info. Well, except for this one guy...

You see about 10 3rd-6th graders (even younger than middle school) were awaiting our turn at Laser tag (Oh yeah, and I smoked them all!) We were told to go stand over in the holding area and wait for the guy to explain stuff to us. We did, and all their excitment insued as they came up with names for themselves, pretended to shoot one another, and came up with their strategy ("I'm gonna go over there and shoot them all!!!") Of course, they were all chatting. The guy came over and just stood there. And then he stood there. And then he continued to stand there untli about 3 or 4 minutes went by. Finally another adult with us asked, "When are we gong to start?"

He replied, "I am just waiting for everyone to be quiet to listen to directions." To which I told him, "Look, buddy, you have to ask us to be quiet first." Ok maybe I didn't say it like that, but I wanted to. Anyway, he just stood there expecting 10 youngen's to just awe in his reverence. What a goof.
