Why I Shall Never Go To The Planetarium Again

In all fairness I should start with Planetarium stuff to explain the title but first, picture this:

In the woods. Thirty-six kids running around. Counsellors cooking burgers and entertaining the kids. And one lone kid... taking a dump in plain sight. YES. That actually happened last night! Apparently he decided that there were too many spiders in the outhouse build for that purpose and so it was much more hygenic to POO IN THE FOREST!! And then he didnt even cover it up. HE just walked away and left it! I laughed until I nearly cried because it was one of the most disgusting, most stupid things I have ever seen. Ew. That is all I can say on the matter now. Ew. (Hahahahaha - still makes me laugh. He was loudly telling everyone about it too!!! And the kids all went to look!! I just didnt know what to do or say!!)

But okay, the Planetarium was funnier tho. Because first we entered a darkened room, to find ourselves subjected to eeiry music from the 1920s (when, as we soon discovered, our host must have been born!). The kids all sat down in these leaned back chairs and stared at the ceiling, which was dome with stars projected onto it. This would have been nice. Except that that things started to go wrong. The first time I laughed was when the man could not find the sun. He had to rewind the projector to find it. Then he lost the moon. So the 'eclipse' was delayed by about a minute whilst he had to 'find' the moon. I kept trying to laugh quietly.

THEN the guys showed us a movie that he thought we would all find "really interesting". Except that if you only project it onto one side of the dome, the other side (ours) is left twisting upside down to try and see it. But we swiftly realised we shouldn't bother because the video was aimed at six year olds, read out by ANOTHER old guy! (Maybe our host's best friend.) THEN he played an interesting video but this was spoilt by the fact that it ended before the actual ending. Another equipment malfunction.

Basically I just spent the whole time laughing and thinking it really was unfair to make a guy that old learn how to use a computer. At least he had breaks inbetween every time he told us to just sit back and watch the stars (heeheehee). It was HILARIOUS.

And speaking of hilarious, me and Aaron left Peter on his own with his six kids for the first time yesterday. His kids rioted. I laughed. But seriously, our six kids are good as gold, the other side runs riot and me & Aaron are the only ones dealing with it right now. But tonightr *oh joy of joys* WE BOTH HAVE THE NIGHT OFF!! So Sicky and Peter are gonna have to go solo!! AWESOME!! :D I hope they are still awake when I get back. I want it to be that back with them, just so they see how hard Aaron especially is working. Cause it's getting a bit ridiculous right now.

But since the sun is out and the kids are sweating on a hike whilst I enjoy the library's air conditioning.... Life is Good :)
