Small Children

Blake and I went to a Springfield Cardinals game tonight. I don't really like baseball all that much but I like Springfield games a lot more than STL. Smaller crowds, less walking, closer to the game, MUCH cheaper seats. We got a free set of tickets but they were originally $8 and right by 3rd base, try getting those in STL. Anyways the point of this blog was to explain why I'm pretty sure I can never have kids. The seats are SOO close together at the stadium and we were stuck next to what I will sware is the 3 worst children in the WORLD. They were maybe 10, 8 and 6ish... I first sat next to the oldest one. It was thunderstick night, those things you bang together to make nose. The dad and the oldest kid beat on these for a good 20 minutes straight, each time almost hitting me in the face. Than the little girl pushed her older brother down so he hit his head on the chair and screamed bloody murder for a good 5 minutes while the Mom just made it her biggest goal to get a Dr.Pepper from the guy walking by. 2 hours later they switch so I get to sit next to the screamer. He touches me, hits me with his sticks and wiggles in his chair hitting me constantly for a long time. The mom obviously hates her children bc she keeps yelling at him and than smiling at me like she is trying to help. Finally the little kid bites into his thundersticks and pops them but still won't stop moving so we scoot over a seat giving me a little space which he immediatly invades. They all leave to go to the bathroom and the people sitting 6 seats down from me (on their other side) smile at me and sort of roll their eyes like, "we have the worst seats in the stadium" The whole time Blake and I are laughing but wanting to slap all the children or hoping one of them busts their face so they will leave. That is when I decided I don't like children. My mom says I will love my own, just like I do my dogs but I am pretty sure I'll be the mom who shakes her baby or runs the car into a pond with the kids strapped in their carseats. My friend Jess has an adorable 18 month old Aubrey who I am in love with!! I texted Jess and told her I actually missed her and Aubrey and appreciated how well behaved Aubrey is compared to these little monsters.
