Wally couldn’t believe when his dad said, “Son, let’s go to Ball World!”
“Really, dad?”
“Really, son.”
Wally was practically bouncing on the backseat all the way there and not because of the bumpy road. It’s been a long time since he and his dad gone somewhere. Going to Ball World, the world’s largest ball pit, had been on Wally’s list of gotta-go places ever since his friends started talking about at school.
And now, I get to experience it, Wally thought excitingly.

From the driver seat, he marveled at his son. Kids, he thought, so lucky to be oblivious.

Thank you. They are really going to Ball World, the place the dad said they would go but the dad is definitely keeping something from the son.

Great story on the surface. I think Ball World would be perfect for father and son. I’m not picking up on ulterior motives.

There is no ulterior motive. I wrote that last sentence to imply there are things like bills, work, life, etc. That may had been on the dad’s mind which he wished he didn’t had to think about and for once, just like his son and just enjoy the day.

Nice father son story. Yes, kids, until they become adults, have no clue about the bills, the worries, etc. We just want them to enjoy their childhood.
