Went to London zoo for the day with the kids. One of them only being about 2 (still small enough for the buggy).
(We live about an hour from London so had to travel down that morning) It was a nice sunny day as we left. We all wore summer clothes, including flip flops. As we got to London, we then had to get the underground, a few busses, etc so had to walk a bit before we got there too.
Problem now begins... we thought we would stop off at McDonald's for lunch before.
As we came out, it began to rain. Heavily.
The 2 year old wasn't in the pram and chose to walk holding it next to me instead. I also had other kids with me too.
Flip flops aren't good for walking around in the rain. They broke. I slipped over on the high street. The buggy fell on top of me, including the shit loads of bags, and the little girl (who was fine). Everyone around carried on walking and ignored.
It gets worse.
As I got up, 1 foot shoeless, and shoved everything on the pram, a wheel fell off. The pram was now a tricycle so I had to balance everything out even more. Also holding the pram instead of pushing it until we got there.
I looked like a dick.
We managed to get to the zoo in the end.
It wasn't enjoyable.
The kids have never forgotten it and are still embarrassed now. Was a nightmare getting home. Safe to saw we haven't done anything like that for a while.
