#12: Elmo Ate Daddy
Happy birthday! There are good birthday experiences and bad ones. And horrible ones. Lex is not a big fan of bouncy places like BounceU but Jon thinks Kangaroo Zoo isn't so bad and John doesn't mind Pump It Up. But as far as really good experiences, Jon is a fan of The wAirhouse and John likes The Little Gym for smaller kids. The benefit of the Little Gym is they have instructors, not sullen teen employees. Video game places like Odyssey are kind of a sensory overload experience. Lex has been to a dance party place and that's the nicest thing he can say about that. If you have several kids, Lex says it's just more cost effective to buy your own Elmo costume. You weren't using that dignity anyway. Here's Lex in full Elmo. Jon bought his daughter a Playmobil veterinary clinic because Playmobil is awesome. The dads argue over thank-you note etiquette and close with a Nixon reference. As you do when talking about kids birthday parties. Sponsor: Our thanks to the totally awesome DayOne for sponsoring this episode. DayOne is the journaling app for iOS and the Mac.
