One of our major local shopping centres underwent a huge renovation that culminated in a grand opening a few weeks ago. We didn't go. It was a madhouse on the BIG DAY. I guess everybody thought they would get a bargain.
When I finally was talked into going by Mummy McT and the boys, I took Lion and Dragon in my car. Part of the reno involved the construction of a new roof-top car park accessed by a pretty impressive ramp. We followed MMcT onto the ramp.
As we drove up the ramp we could see nothing but blue sky and Lion said (with AWE),
"Grandma, it looks like we are going up to Heaven!"
Well yes, it really does Lion.
When we got to the top, there were plenty of cars and, in the area we had chosen to park, someone had cleaned out their car and dumped a heap of litter that must have taken weeks to collect. As we got out of the car, I asked Lion, "Does this look like Heaven?"
In a very sad and disappointed voice he answered, "Nooooooo"
Confession: I added "TO HEAVEN" to the top photo. It may have been omitted from the original sign.
That's some ramp!
ReplyDeleteI find it quite amusing when you get to the top and find that there is no shade for the cars, just the trolleys.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda hoping heaven doesn't resemble a car park! That sure is some ramp though!
