On Saturday night, Jon and I took the kids out to go see Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa. The kids seemed to enjoy it. Once the movie was over, we all walked back to where our car was supposedly parked, yet was nowhere to be found. Our car had been impounded. Apparently we were parked in a red zone but did not see the red line since it was covered in snow (we simply parked next to the last car in the row). Anyway...Stuck at Movies 8, at 9 o'clock at night, no car to go home with... At this point, I seriously considered running home, it would have only taken me 15 minutes top. The only two things that kept me from doing it was the cold winter night, and the fact that I did not have shoes to run with.
Jon finally got a hold of a neighbor who came and got us and then babysat the kids while we picked up the Lumina. Thanks to our sweet neighbor Matt Lukens for helping us out.
In total our 1 and 45 minutes fun at the cheap seats to see Madagascar 2 cost us a ridiculous grand total of 140 dollars. Ahhhhh.... Thank you very much.
The crazy thing is that they could have booted our car for 50 bucks but chose to impound it for a 133 purely for the LOVE of MONEY, and making poor starving students even poorer...
