Fun and Games on the World Map

I remember the world map on the floor inside the main door. This happened a long time ago. I worked in a grocery store. One night after we closed, we decided we wanted to do something. None of us had much money and it was back when there wasn’t much open that late anyway.

It was probably about midnight before we got together and decided what to do. For some reason, we decided that the happening place for us that night was the airport. We drove out and sat on the floor on the map and played a game. I think it may have been Uno, but I can’t remember for sure.

So there we sat on the map playing. We’d play for a few minutes and someone would say let’s go to Africa and we would all get up and run around the map and end up sitting on Africa. We’d play some more and then someone would yell, let’s go to England, and we’d all run around and “go to” England. It was a riot with us all playing and yelling with people walking in and out of the main door. I’m surprised we didn’t get kicked out.

It was a different time back then, and I still think about it every time I go to the airport.
