We had a doctor's appointment at Children's Hospital yesterday. Someone, or a committee of someones struggling under a fierce misapprehension, has gone out of their way to make the lobby look and feel as much like an extension of the Children's Museum as possible. Which is a problem, actually, because while we're on our way up to radiology, we don't necessarily have time to watch the funky Rube Goldberg sculpture do its thing, or to play in the fountain. (The boy currently has three speeds, as described by his godfather: Carry Me!, Hurry!, and Science! Science! is like a dead stop, but messier.)

When we were left alone in a room with a computer, he asked if we could watch helicopters. "No helicopters," I said. "Sorry." So he asked instead for kitties.

I had to promise the kids that we would stop by the sculpture on the way out. Of course, if I had realized the doc would be an hour late I would've let them go stare at it earlier.

(CHOP is currently on my shit list because a 15 minute appointment turned into a 3-hour expedition due to a combination of snafus. At least the doc was decent.)
