We're getting ready to go to Fun Central. Usually, when we go there, I end up climbing around in the tunnels and slides with Mase, acting like a giant five-year-old. Don't get me wrong, I love it. Today though, I'm in the middle of a really good part in Infinite Jest, and it'd be awesome to just be able to sit in the chairs with the slightly-more-normal parents and read a little.
So I ask Mase, "If we go to Fun Central do you think you can play by yourself this time?"
He says, "Yeah, Mommy. I'll find a friend!"
Me: "Okay, that'll be nice."
Him: "Yeah.. A NICE friend. [long pause and a little sigh] Because, Mom, I think some people are kind of mean."
