And what is The Pitfall? The Pitfall is the newest craze at my house. It is the emotional roller coaster that I seem to have a Disneyesque Fast Pass for. I always seem to be at the head of the line, and in the first car of the train.
The Pitfall starts off going almost straight up, and it crests quickly (Audrey took 1st, 2nd, and 1st at a recent dance competition! Bridget gave me her first smile!). After a few moments on a plateau, your stomach leaps past your uvula on a sheer drop of MORE than 90 degrees (Audrey had the worst weekend ever, because she didn't play with any friends!), then you lurch into a corkscrew (Claire doesn't want Scooby-Doo right now, she wants Tangled...and a cookie damnit!) after which we hang upside down for a while (Audrey is tired and just can't possibly do homework tonight). Now we drop again (Claire can't fine woobie) to gain speed for the loops (Audrey aced her spelling test, but forgot to turn in her Sentence homework; Claire loves me so much, but really wants Three Amigos...dad, I want Three Amigos! I WANT THEM!!; Bridget doesn't want the nose sucker jammed up her nose, but is happy to nurse at the drop of a hat!!). Now we approach the loading station and its time to get off. Whoa there partner, not you! We're going to let everyone BUT you off! And away we go!!
Step right up, folks...tickets are free for The Pitfall! Never a dull moment!!
