An Afternoon at Safeco Field

If you don't already have your own recipe for whining, here's a new one we tried out just the other day-

Combine:

2 small children

1 part thirst

2 parts fatigue

Stir well and add:

1 Mariners game ending in extra innings

This recipe is especially helpful to bring to Safeco Field where outside drinks are prohibited and a bottle of water costs $4.50.

We chose to add some cotton candy to our batch, but it's totally optional. It mellows the whine just a touch.

Of course, an entire course of whine by itself is a little overwhelming. Be sure to pair it with just a few smiles.

And maybe a little clapping.

One thing I would definitely recommend leaving out- a whole row of exceptionally loud Red Sox fans.
