Chuck E. Cheese, now with a less scary mouse

Birthdays, eh. Today happens to be mine. We got into a brief discussion of our worst birthdays ever. A friend said his was when everyone forgot his birthday until 11 o’clock at night. Another mentioned a whole day in the car followed by whole wheat strawberry shortcake. I remember that whole wheat strawberry shortcake. I suppose it was, at least, healthy… and the strawberries and whipped cream were even edible.

As for me, the worst birthday ever was at Chuck E. Cheese. I was young so the memories are vague. I remember the pizza being lousy. When a 5 year old doesn’t like the pizza, and remembers it twenty some years later, that’s bad pizza. I also remember doing miserably at the different games they had. And finally, I remember that mascot mouse making me cry. I don’t know how he did it but he did. I doubt he was mean, I think he just looked scary.

I apologize to Chuck E. Cheese, I think their mascot is now much less scary and they have improved their pizza, so don’t be afraid to go. As for me, I will choose to go elsewhere for my birthdays.
