Bottoms up!!

So you’ve worked hard all week, and its Thursday afternoon, and you’ve decide to head to the bar at Stella’s for a drink to get an early start to the holiday weekend. You settle into your chair, look up at the game on the TV, and as you go to take that first sip – POP! Then another POP-POP followed by a cackling child. If you were one of the gentlemen sitting at the bar today trying to unwind, my apologies. An outing to meet friends for ice cream was delayed by a morning work commitment, so in an effort to speed things up before the party ended, I let Alan take his “popper for a walk” – which he had been asking to do all week. I don’t know what I was thinking. Even though Stella’s is both a bar and an ice cream parlor, please – don’t ever take your popper with you, even if your child begs! It is a kid-magnet! During “popper sightings” children will drop their ice cream cones and race towards that POP-POP sound. Secondly, don’t ever try to make a joke to those sitting at the bar as your child’s popper speeds by – apparently no one will think it’s cute. Bottoms-up! (Pop-Pop!)
