adventures with ee-mo

angie took the kids to one of her work functions - a hockey game that the bmo team was playing in and before that to watch the chicago blackhawks practice (this was during the regular season of course).  she was only interested in the practice but thought it would be nice to take the kids.  she gets to the saddledome late and the kids are still chilled from the walk from the parking lot, and they make their way down to the rink.  But the coach decided to make it a closed practice.  Angie was more disappointed than the kids, who had no clue what they were doing anyways.  They started to make their way out again but M had to pee so somehow they ended up in the flames change room (it was empty).  After M made his mark they did a little snooping before finally leaving.  G was so proud that his son shared the same space with his team.

At Let's Play one day

So there were our kids in one of those riding machines that you put a 25 cent token in making it move up and down for two minutes.  Only G wouldn't give them any money, and in a line of four machines our kids were the ones 'pretending' it was moving.  

kid in the machine beside M cluching a bag-full of tokens:  why don't you put in a coin?

M looks over awe-struck that the kid didn't understand: because we can't afford it!!!

the kid's grandfather looks over at G, who is in his pj-equivalent, and looks down to the kids who are dressed like beggars because G can't match two colors if he tried, and you could tell that he felt bad for the kids.

random conversation at the mall

L:  can we ride the merry-go-roun?

G: Leah, i have no money, can't afford it.  Michael, tell her where money comes from.

M: *rolls his eyes and sighs* Leah! you have to work for it!

L: *turns to G* YOU already worked today
