the child and I went out in the kayak. on the way we stopped at wendy's for breakfast. but they didn't have breakfast stuff. so we got a couple of 99 cent burgers. but when we pulled out the fuckers had only given us one burger. the child was in distress. so i spotted a mcdonald's a few blocks away. we pulled in there and got a couple of egg mcmuffins (no photo unfortunately.). the child was again happy and ready for our lake adventure.

so we went kayaking. it was big fun. we spotted turtles, ducks, bugs, etc. when we got back to the truck I had left the lights on and the battery was dead. my cell phone barely had enough power to call triple A. so i managed to. but they said it would be an hour before a tow truck would be out to give me a jump. the child was in distress again. so the cell phone was now completely dead. we walked to a pay phone and called moms. she would come pick up the child and i would stay and wait for the tow truck. all was well, but the child was impatient.

we waited. suddenly, the tow truck arrives. 50 minutes early. he gives me a jump no problem. but now moms is on her way, i have no cell phone to call her off, and i can't turn off the engine or the car won't start again. so even if I wanted to pull up to a pay phone and just leave the engine running with freaked out child in car, i didn't have anymore change to make the call. so we just left. i guess moms would just show up and find us gone.
