We SUCK at our Parenting Skills!

Matthew could not keep his eyes open.  Here we are in the middle of Hollywood Studios in Florida and he wanted to nap!  He leaned on poles, and on me, and on buildings.  He napped while in line for rides!!  So finally, we stopped for some lunch.  When Matthew was finished he laid his head down on the table.  Pretty soon, we notice him not moving, and for Matthew... that's your sign! He was out cold!

We tried to tell him to get up a few times, but he... of course, didn't listen to reason.  So we walked away.  Yep.  Just got up... cleaned the table off... threw away our trash,  pushed in our benches, which were not light and made some noise, and walked away.  While he laid there..... snoring. 

As we walked off I asked a girl that worked here to inform Matthew he was loitering and ask if he was done with the table. She was laughing but said.... "Really??"  After some small coaxing and perhaps some bullying, she tapped him on his arm... lightly at first.... then more aggressively because he sleeps like the dead, and said.. "Excuse me sir?  Are you done with this table?" Matthew's head went up and he noticed he was alone at the table.  After he wiped the drool off his chin he was like... "no?"

We could see him trying to figure out why he was alone.... People around him were laughing... when he saw us he smile and said... You guys SUCK as parents!  

Soon after we rode the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.... where the elevator brings you up and drops you 13 floors... FOUR times in a row!.... Astonishingly, he was not sleepy after that.  Perhaps we should have done that ride first and saved him the embarrassment.
