Just announced: Disneyland will host a vaccination site. Well, I’ll be darned. I figure they gotta make it interesting, right? I told my grandkids.
“Hey kids, guess what?”
“What, Grandpa?” they said in unison.
“Looks like we can go to Disneyland.”
I covered my ears as excited sounds squealed from their mouths.
“Why now, Grandpa?”
Yeah, at least one of them always asks that kind of question. I’m not going to tell you which one, as you would probably howl in disapproval, no matter whether it was the boy or the girl.
“To get a vaccination.”
“A vacci-what?”
See, that won’t get the kids excited about going.
“They got a new ride,” I said. (Instead of the vaccination statement.)
“Yay,” they both shouted. “What’s it called?”
“Uh, The Shot that went Viral,” I said. “Or, the Covid Coaster.”
Well, maybe it wouldn’t go that much better. And you wouldn’t want it to be an E-ticket item. Whoops. Dating myself. For you newbies, they used to give you tickets, with letters from A to E, to use on the rides. And of course the best rides took an E ticket. To buy more, those were the most expensive ones.
