To be a kid again

On saturday my boyfriend and i took his daughter to the santa monica pier. We were going to go on some rides. Our first ride was the ferris wheel which was slightly boring, and she kept asking how we got down and i kept telling her we would have to jump, which may or may not have frightened her...i mean hello...i was raised by bill & wilma and everyone knows that their philosphy in having kids was 1 to torture and 2 to embarass....so don't blame me! Anyways, so we are on the ferris wheel and she sees the ride next it is one of those big ships that swings back and forth...and she wants to go on. So, we get in line and finally get on the ride. Before the ride begins the man in charge says that if we get scared all we have to do is yell I'm scared and he'll stop the ride. Well, two swings in and we're all laughing...three swings in and i see her smile fade, her eyes are shut tightly and she has a death grip on the handle, i told my boyfriend, i think she needs off the ride, to which he looks over and waves "i'm scared!" maybe it was one of those, ya had to be there moments, but i just couldn't stop laughing!
