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. It was too hot for the park, so I caved and took them for ice cream. 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.
