Have More Fun

I like to share this every summer as a reminder. Be kind.

As expected he got a hold of the mic and wouldn’t let it go. He introduced himself and told everyone that he’s an ‘amazing horror artist’ and would have kept going from there if the tour guide hadn’t taken the mic back from him.

Admittedly it could have been much worse!

That had a fresh pizza in it!!!

In fact, the reason why the dragonfly almost got into your house was because you had opened up the door for a pizza delivery 🫣.

Thankfully it was mostly fine 😆

Memories can be very selective and sometimes an old memory can override a new memory if it’s strong enough.

Rides are a funny thing. They create so much sensory input and can have such a profound impact on the body that they often create very vivid memories. You might not remember every turn and drop but you’ll remember how you felt.

And every time you ride can leave you walking away with a different feeling depending on any number of factors. The weather, they day you’re having, your mood and even how long you had to wait can change how you feel about the ride.

Something like a glitch or breakdown can cause a very vivid memory.

So, if you have a child that can go hot and cold on different experiences depending on their mood try keeping a happy picture of them after getting off the ride handy in case they need a reminder that this is actually fun.

This doesn’t mean you need to force them or coerce them to ride.

If it’s still a no, it’s still a no.

This just gives them a chance to reevaluate their choice before waiting on the sidelines.
