Mater:Avocados In Wonderland

Posted by Pater , Wednesday, July 25, 2018 8:00 PM

Mater is having difficulty writing this blogpost.  We spent so much time this summer at Canada's Wonderland, where to start?  "Begin at the beginning," Pater said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop".  Well, there were all those amazing rides, so maybe Mater should start there? "And what is the use of a blogpost," thought Mater, "Without pictures or conversations?"


And it didn't end there.  In fact, "Curiouser and curioser!" cried Mater (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she forgot how to speak good English), but it got even more fun when we came back with family and friends...
Mater thought it would be impossible to have any more fun.  But then she thought, "Why sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." And so we had even more fun getting scared by dinosaurs!
Mater would have stayed in Dinosaur Land but all the roars and screams seemed to turn everyone mad.  "But I don't want to go among mad people," Mater remarked.  "Oh, you can't help that," said Pater: "we're all mad here.  I'm mad.  You're mad."  "How do you know I'm mad?" said Mater.  "You must be," said Pater, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Fair enough.  Hard to argue with that.  But time for something new.  But where?  "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said Pater.  "I don't much care where..." said Mater.  "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said Pater. "...as long as I get somewhere," Mater added as an explanation.  "Oh you're sure to do that," said Pater, "if you only walk long enough." 

That sounds too hot and tiring.  How about we just jump in the water?
Yes, we had so much fun, Mater decided to buy next year's season pass then and there.  Pater turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at Mater for a moment like a wild beast, began screaming "Off with her head!  Off with..." "Nonsense!" said the Avocado Juniors, very loudly and decidedly, and Pater was silent.
