Karen, Barbie and i head to the broken bottle and get right back to work. I head to the arcade and start turn everything on. Kids start coming in happy to play in here after us being gone for about a week. I see a lil girl looking sad as she tries to win the "high striker" game and keeps failing.
(AN one of these things...yeah i just called em "that hammer thing with the bell you gotta hit hard" until i JUST now looked it up-)
