I have never ever ridden one. That's a desire I've never had and a fear I'll never conquer. And I'm okay with that.

Yes indeed - many of my friends would never want to sail across an ocean, but for me that's joy. hahaha

I've loved this vicarious ride, Chris, and that's about the only way I ever will. The actual rollercoaster ride; I HAATTTE ITTT like you claim your daughter did :-)

I start losing my mind when I get high but when I get low my mind separates itself from the rest of my existence. Not nice, mm mm.

This doesn't sound very fun. Allow us to ride them for you. 😂

Go all out for it, man, just as long as you treat us to that experience (from my comfortable distance 🤣) just as you have done here!

So good.

Loved this story. Makes me think maybe I should be writing some of these life moments down.

Christopher Robin's avatar

You should! If only for posterity.

It is a great idea. So I'm going to do it starting with going to my daughter's swim yesterday. My mom took us and we went out to eat after, too.

God no. Hard nope. I sent Emily and Ana off on their own at a theme park in NJ (with their older cousins) and happily watched from the sidelines. Glad you had this experience with B though (and that your neck survived.

I love this. So glad you wrote it back then.

Your daughter in this story is me, exactly one year ago, while my kids laughed their asses off 🤣
