My co-worker and friend let us take her to Dave & Buster’s for dinner to celebrate. She brought along her children Eddie and Anna. Those two are still at the age when there’s a time limit on the festivities yet we enjoyed everyone’s company; kids can’t help themselves, they’re kids, not adults.
I felt the food was excellent, especially in light of a place that emphasizes the games; see Chuck E Cheese. The waitress even surprised Ayako with a birthday sundae! We spontaneously sang “Happy Birthday” to her, kids included.
If you know Ayako, probably through FaceBook, wish her well.
