I remember as a kid, I bugged my parents to let me sit in kiddy rides all the time. I don’t remember what the excitement or fun was then, but I do remember that it was something I love to do. So while I am always bewildered why my kids go crazy over kiddy rides, I consciously remind myself that I used to do it myself too as a little girl.
Over last weekend, we brought the girls to an arcade within a shopping mall, and we had a hard time dragging them away from it.
Baby Jayne was happy enough sitting on the kiddy ride, even though we didn’t put in the coins and it was not rocking.
She would go up and down different kiddy rides just to sit in them.
Joey, thankfully, is over the kiddy ride phase. But she is intrigued by many other games in the arcade. Man, will she be one of those teens who will loiter in arcades after school in the future?? =X
Well, I guess the reason why arcades are doing well and more are springing up in Singapore is that many people love gaming, and kids are no exception. They especially love it when everything is bright, colourful and entertaining. But I really can’t stand the noise – Think I am getting old. =P
