when i was 12, i went to mcdonalds with some friends and we played at the mcdonaldland playground. we decided to see if we could all fit in the mayor mccheese together. it was a tight squeeze, but we all got in.
i was quite a bit taller and huskier than these friends. they all jumped out of the head exit, but i couldn't get in a good position to do that unless i went head first. i panicked.
i was stuck in the damn mayor mccheese.
for a moment i thought i'd never get out. i was mortified.
i don't exactly remember what happened next. i'm not sure if i've just blocked it or all the adrenaline produced by the complete embarrassment of being too giant to cram myself in the mayor mccheese yet doing it anyway made my brain stop working or what. but i do seem to remember one of my friends helping me get my feet near the body entrance and helping me get out.
apparently, i'm not the only one. there is an entire facebook group about it.
anyway, when i was looking for an image, i discovered that thing is not, in fact, a mayor mccheese, but an officer big mac.
I'm not even going to check out the Facebook link. That thing was totally Mayor McCheese. Besides, what's up with prison bars on a kids' playground? And remember how it was outside??
ReplyDeleteChildren were so abused when we were kids.
apparently, mayor mccheese was on the merry-go-round and has a top hat and only one layer like a quarter pounder with cheese. this thing has a police uniform and two patties and is called officer big mac. otherwise they are totally the same. but i'm still sticking with mayor mccheese, even though i know it to be wrong.
ReplyDeletethe fb group has a pretty funny description of what it's like to be stuck in there.
i realized the confusion with the last two sentences, so i traded them. :)
