Happiest Place on Earth

I've returned from a trip to Disneyworld for a show choir competition my son was involved with. But more about that later. Disney bills itself as the "happiest place on earth." I told someone that I was going to the happiest place on earth and they said, "Heaven?"
Anyway, one of our number made this observation: If Disneyworld is the happiest place on earth, why are all the kids crying, the brothers and sisters fussing at each other, and the moms and dads yelling at each other? Good point. I did a lot of people watching on this trip and I have some good blog material. But that will be for another day.
Our show choir placed second in this competition which is higher than they have ever placed before. But the real news is my son completed in the solo competition and won! It was truly exciting and my wife are I are extremely proud. Not for what he has accomplished (although we are proud of that), but for just being our child. Along with winning came a nice trophy and a $500 scholarship. Maybe it is the happiest place on earth (Nah!). It was exciting. It's good to be home. Take care. I hope you have a great day. Thanks for letting me brag. JW
