Boredom....Be Careful

I jumped into a Bouncy House this afternoon.....I was bored.

Students today had their end-of-year picnic, complete with every type of recreation available, including an inflatable obstacle-type contraption. The picnic was lovely, but was growing a little long since I didn't have much to do. I need structure.

So, while observing some students in the bouncy house, they asked if I would give it a try.....and of course I would!!

Apparently, it was a race of some type. You race against another person going thru an identical obstacle course on the other side of the inflatable structure. So, I began by propelling myself into this thing, and the thought very clearly came to me, how embarassing it would be if I could not climb out of it and they had to let the air out to extract me.........

Anyway, I went through the structure....and by the time I got to the top, (where you get on a giant slide that spits you out) my thirteen year-old opponent was already at the snack tent.

I am not sure any of the other adults saw me. If they did, they were probably saying things like, "Amazing. She has such little self-awareness."
