BOO.. kids with bad moods and doing naughty things

mothers at their toddlers running around wearing no shoes
while a (lame) HEAVY METAL band plays on a side stage
YAY......we move to a better spot by the river where we can hear the orchestra
BOO...the police come and say the whole crowd on that hill has
to move...back to the heavy metal.
YAY.....craig takes a few kids for carnival rides and i text with my friends to pass the time.
BOO...fireworks show finally starts
and the heavy metal band won't stop.
YAY.......we decided to pack it up and leave...our heads may have exploded if we stayed any longer.
BOO...i drop my phone in the grass as we pack and i don't notice.
so that means....i no longer have a phone.
it's been stolen and used we already know that.
YAY.......it's already late so we get late night hot donuts when we get back to town.
BOO...we get home at 11:45 and our air conditioner is broken....

YAY.......kids are so tired that they sleep fine and after a cold shower and two fans on us...so do craig and i.
