Peaches and a bit of Cheese, I think

One last inane post and I am done.

Yesterday, we are in our seats at the Pirates game. It is a beautiful night and the beers from the restaurant where we ate before the game are making us feel mighty relaxed.

The usher guides a family of five to the seats next to us. It was a man and woman and three very young children. My first thought was these are pricey tickets to get for three children of that age, but anyway.

I realise with the family so close I will need to be mindful of my language - damn! The mother is holding the youngest child so the seat next to me is empty for the beginning of the game.

Oh wait, something else! Time for the national anthem. Everyone is instructed to stand and remove their caps. I remove my cap and look around. Way down below is a kid about twelve with his cap on - someone needs to smack him across the head and make him take it off. Wait, their is a fat woman with her cap still on her head - WTF! I hate people who think things do not apply to them, especially when it comes to displaying the proper respect for the anthem.

One more thing about the whole anthem - the boy scouts and scout masters salute during the procession. I do not get it! It is not a REAL uniformed service - it is the scouts! A place that allows pedophiles access to small children!

Anyway, back to the family. Midway through the first ending I hear a noise that we all know well. The sound of sick. Yep, the small child ralphs all over the place. I felt bad for the little kid who was now covered in what looks like peaches mixed with cheese nachos. The father was trying to help the mom out and my buddy handed them a handful of wipes he had in his backpack. the mom and dad took the youngest to the bathroom while a lady a few rows back volunteered to watch after the remaining children.

The family came back ten minutes later to collect the other children and he apologized to us. We told him do not worry about it kids get sick - it happens. The usher let us move a few rows down as someone was called to clean up the vomit.
