After all, I felt guilty that their breakfast consisted of a splash of milk and a fruity granola bar.
Some people in the house may have overslept a wee bit this morning...or a lot of bits. Like 72 bits. Which is really just 6 bunches of bits. Yes, now that doesn't sound so bad.
Anywho, we were a little flustered getting Bubbalu off to preschool in time (hence the gourmet breakfast) and while zipping up his coat I accidentally caught the side of his face with my fingernail. BIG scratch. BIG tears. Needing lots of snuggles, cold pack application and kisses...45 min late to school.
*sigh*
So it goes.
After picking Bubbalu up from school we had the normal debate as to where to head to pick up a lunch. I always choose Subway. Or at least 98% of the time. Yet, that measly 2% of the time (McD's) is pined after by the young-uns. The holy grail of childhood dining.
While sitting on a bench at the local ball field playground munching our turkey subs I had an epiphany.
Get ready, these don't come often.

Amen? I tell ya, many a parent has bemoaned the lack of a children's play place at Subway. Seriously.
Dear Subway,
If you install a fun, brightly colored children's play place in most of your fine fast food establishments I am guessing your profits would DOUBLE. Or TRIPLE. Depending on how many crawl though tubes and tunnels you have. Maybe you could have a ginormous crawl though sub sandwich. How fun would that be!? Add in a slide fashioned from a carved out cucumber that lands in a pit of large plastic tomatoes and you are golden.
As a special request, might you consider adding a time out chair in the corner? You know, so I can politely point it out to the parent of the child who is karate chopping my son in the stomach? That'd be great.
For your convenience, my royalties can be direct deposited via paypal.

Seriously. I have always sad that we need a healthy, kid friendly eating spot with a play place. It would make buko bucks. I would invent it, but I'm too busy cleaning up pee.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's a little amusing to have 72 bits and breakfast talk so close together: 72 bits is 9 bytes (look it up), which sounds like about how much Jude got for breakfast. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are BRILLIANT!! What a great idea. Although they might need to make some the bread a bit "thinner" so my kids can get the sandwich in their mouths!!
