10/5/2003 ~ Em's monorail


As you may recall, the monorail is Em's very favorite ride. While we are strolling up the ramp, Commando Nikki blasts off in front of us. See ya. 

Waldo & DS each have one of Em's arms and are beating on her head and butt with their bags. (It had T-shirts in them, I wouldn't actually allow them to injure the child.) She is trying to drag them up the ramp and is getting really mad. She is screaming MONORAIL!! when Commando Nikki comes back for the rest of us.


"We have to wait for the next one. We can sit in the front!" This kid has been peeking at the Dis boards, hasn't she?


We have a seat and Em is on fire! She didn't get that the monorail was driven by someone, and this was going to be a special treat. Nope, she didn't want to hear any of that.


God love the little children, but have you ever seen that thing they do when they are not getting their own way? Even if you don't have children, you have seen it. We all have. Its that thing they do, like their head suddenly weighs 50 lbs more than it did a second ago, their arms have no use, and their legs become Jello. She had her eyes rolled up in the back of her head and her tongue out to the side of her mouth. Very pretty.


The first monorail comes and Em springs back to life. She grabs DS by the shirt and is trying to drag him on it with her. "Lets go, lets go, lets go!!!" She of course, doesn't move him an inch.
Em & DS. You'll never meet two kids that are closer. Wherever DS is, Em is right behind him. While DS was with us, we never really had to keep an eye on her. We knew she was with him. She stands outside the men’s room door screaming his name. You just know she wants to bolt in there and get him. He just loves her to pieces.


So, he doesn't move. Em has a total look of betrayal on her face. She can't believe her partner in crime just let her down. The monorail starts to pull way, and Em, that sweet angel, swings her foot full back to kick him.....there. He grabs her foot and hangs her upside down by it. When he puts her back on her feet, her costume had slipped a bit down in the back exposing her tushy, just a little bit.


"Auditioning to be a Maine plumber?" DH asked.


I was so unbelievably happy when the next monorail pulled up. I almost hugged the CM standing there. Commando Nikki surprised me when she said, "I'm riding with you guys so DS, EM, Beatlebum and Waldo can sit in the front." 

I was proud of her for doing that for the other kids. (She got her chance) 

Wow, what a sweetheart, so thoughtful, arranging for the other kids to ride in the front.......


Yeah, we got into the monorail and Commando Nikki fell asleep. Anyone seen that whistle?
