Loved this. Had a similar experience convincing our two kids - 10 and 7 - that they’d like the tower of terror. They did not

Bahaha honestly, we didn't even try Tower of Terror. I think that one is too much for me :-)

Oh Eric. I say this with love, laughter, and kindness: you’re such a “guy”. Any mother alive would say: “you took a four-year-old girl WHERE? To do WHAT?!”, while snatching her out of your hands. You’re a riot.

Ha! My youngest normally has such a high tolerance for these sorts of things. Alas!

"May the Fourth be with you friend!" Your story brought back memories of our family's last Disney adventure (Thanksgiving 2023). It wasn't my daughter or son who pitched a fit in Star Wars land...embarassingly enough it was yours truly (invariably 'childish' because my expectations of how things were going were not going the way I wanted🤦‍♂️). Pretty sure my silent scorn was on full-go towards my wife. Thanks for the reminder for the constant need for humility! Congrats on the exciting week in store!

Thanks, Eric. I feel well enough to start writing again, so that's something.
