I swear you'll make millions. Open a restaurant that has good food <em>and</em> a playground. Why hasn't anyone done this? Every time we go to grab a quick bite, we are forced to decide between good food and happy kids. 

I usually avoid these fast food places. But the other day my two youngest were stir crazy and needed to get out of the house. It was too hot for the park, so I caved and took them for ice cream at the golden arches. I slipped a picture book manuscript <a href="http://megmillerwrites.blogspot.com/2014/01/revimo-day-3-interview-with-ame-dyckman.html">into my purse</a> in true <a href="http://www.amedyckman.com/home.html">Ame Dyckman</a> fashion. 

The kids played happily for an hour while I revised. Within seconds, my kids made a half dozen new friends. There were pirates, Power Rangers, and princesses. One girl was positive she was Elsa. I'm sure people heard her singing from the drive-through. The chaos was oddly relaxing. The ideas flowed despite many interruptions to wave to my daughter who climbed to the top. All day I had wanted to write in my quiet office.
