On Friday we went to the Seattle Center. We let the valet service park Jet White for us...much easier that way.
E wanted to go on the rides. Jodie bought him and I a yellow wrist band for unlimited rides.
We started at the bumper cars. E went right in and picked out a car. I parked my scooter by Jodie and went up to the gate. The young guy and gal who were running the bumper cars decided together that I couldn't go on the bumper cars.
I was rather stunned. Bumper cars has always been my favorite rides, and ramming his Old Man is one of E's greatest joys!
We talked to a manager, who set the kids running the ride straight. Crazy, but I didn't feel like riding the bumper cars after that.
I did go on the Music Express with E. It was a little fast for me. I am getting a touch older.
Jodie tells me that she has always been denied access to rides because of her disability. This is the first time it has happened to me.
It makes me laugh that I can drive a 8,750 lb. van...but I'm not allowed on the bumper cars!
Living and laughing with a disability - cerebral palsy; ordinary life, extraordinary circumstances.
