This past weekend, my wife and I and three young girls went to the Twin Cities, leaving earlier than the chickens Saturday morning and coming back Sunday. The reason for the quick trip was that her youngest child told us about a meet and greet by two paranormal YouTubers, who were also promoting their clothing line at a store in the Mall of America.
My wife and I knew the girls shouldn't get their hopes up about meeting them. Even though we were arriving at the MOA hours ahead of time, the chances of her and her two friends getting a place in line were slim.
It turns out they never had a chance to meet them because there were close to 4,000 people already in line and the store cut off the number as they found the end to it.
I try to maintain a positive attitude and a positive outlook on life in general, so we made the best of the time we were down there and went to a water park instead. Got a little burned, but it was relaxing.
What's the lesson? You don't always get what you want and it's a good thing to not get your hopes up.
