'Oliver what are you doing?'
'I drinking the ketchup.'
'Don't drink the ketchup, dip you onion rings in the ketchup.'
'I drink the ketchup.'
'No, DON'T drink the ketchup, use it as a dip not a beverage.'
'I drink the ketchup.'
'I have to go fill my drink up, I'll be gone for five seconds, eat your food and DO NOT drink the ketchup.'
'OK daddy.'
I walk away, fill up my drink and come back to a red mustached toddler.
'I drink the ketchup daddy, it was goood.'

Corn Mazes oh how I hate you...(I don't really hate corn mazes, this one just irritated me a little.)
Let me count the ways...
1) I hate how you are made of corn, a product that grows kind of like a wall but it's planted in rows so it's like a wall with holes in it. And if a couple of stalks are knocked down or have not grown in properly then it looks like a pathway.
2) I hate how (at this particular corn maze) you have numbered check points with clues but many of your numbers have been knocked off so we have no idea what clue to use so you are pointless.
3) I hate that the only people you can ask for guidance on finding your way out are the people that have already found there way out so you are walking around with a bunch of other people that are just as clueless as you are about where you are and what direction you should be turning next.
4) I hate that every time I turned around Oliver had disappeared into another corn row. (Toddlers must REALLY hate corn mazes because every row looks like a new path). After thirty minutes Oliver was wandering around clutching his water bottle, red faced, like he had been lost in a desert for days.
5) I hate the 'know it all' little girl running around telling me that, 'You shouldn't cut thru the rows, you are supposed to stay on the path, otherwise you are cheating.' But I like her mom who tells me, 'I won't tell anyone, get out anyway you can.' Poor lady and her little know-it-all is probably still lost in there.
6) I hate (and Alissa backs me up on this one) how there is no beer served in a corn maze. If you want me wandering around for hours you better offer me refreshments and they better have alcohol in them.
7) I hate that somehow (see #5 as to how this probably happened) we went in Corn maze #1 and when we finally made our way out we exited corn maze #2. Why put two corn mazes only a few feet away from each other? (see reason #1 regarding 'Why I hate corn mazes.')
8) I hate the people that we passed five times in the corn maze going the wrong way each time, complaining the whole time on how they were lost, finally make it out of the maze only to say, 'Do you want to try the next maze?' Then they go in the next maze. I guess they wanted to get their money's worth. Or they brought their own beer.
It was an event, it was fine. But I don't think I'm running out to do it again next week-end. I think a corn maze would be a lot more fun if it was a corn path, with refreshments.
