the lure of Chuck E Cheese

Why do kids like Chuck E Cheese sooo much? Some say its the great pizza, while others agree its the fun atmosphere. You might insist that its the giant stuffed 'friendly' mouse or even the video games. I'm here to break it to ya folks, its the lure of the prize tickets.

You know, those tickets you get for winning a game. The tickets that you spend $20 winning just to turn them over at the prize counter for a tootsie roll?!?! No matter how many time I say "Dudes, I'll buy you a bag of tootsie rolls if we can skip the ticket counter!" my kids just don't go for it. You know why?!?!?! Because this time, maybe this time, they will win about a million tickets & be able to buy that giant water gun or hot wheel item.

Well, maybe NOT this time. Looks like we're only winning singles again today. ahhhhhhhhh! The angst. The pain! Well, one can always hope. If it doesn't work out this time, maybe, just maybe next time we'll win big!
