Almost Got Arrested For Eating an Apple!!

at 3:56 PM

OK, not really but close! This afternoon I was at the Waco water park.  Their policy does say no out-side food.  Their concession stand offers all the artery-clogging, diabetes producing foods you can think of from nachos to candy to ice cream.  Oh, and they don't have any sugar-free drinks, only water, soda, and sports drinks.  So I got my daughter an ice cream bar and pulled out an apple from by bag.  My first warning was from a life guard (not sure if she could swim) who said I couldn't bring food from the out side.  I told her I would be happy to buy fruit if they offer any, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in hot dogs and nachos.  She marched off and brought her boss with her who continued to lecture me about the out side food issue.  I again explained that I wasn't going to eat the junk they were selling as food.  At that point I was almost finished with my apple, and she was pretty upset with me and threatened to get a park ranger.  Imagine reading about a lady at the water park getting arrested for eating fruit.

Anyway, I politely told her that I would go out side next time and sit with the smokers and eat my healthy snacks.  She was fine with that!

Fruit eaters and smokers have to go out side the water park to satisfy their nasty habit.
