A little taste of eternal damnation…

Some people believe that if there is a Hell it’s personalised for each person, damning you to an eternity of that which tortures you most. This week I have been faced with a few things that I think would definately make up my personal hell, if I were to believe in such a place and if that is my destination once I depart this world.
This week I went on an excursion with my son’s grade to the zoo, these were grade 5/6′s and on the bus they broke into song, which at first seemed endearing, until I recognised the song… it was Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby, baby’ annoying yes, but after 40 minutes of them singing it over and over I began to feel my sanity slipping away and a sense of panic that the return journey would be a repeat performance. So yes, in my hell there will be loooooong bus trips with obnoxious children singing THAT song on repeat, forever.
I will also be stuck forever at a birthday party, at build-a-bear with 25 preps all pushing eachother and asking if they can have rollerskates for their bears with co-ordinating ponchos. All there will ever be to eat in my Hell is party pies, sausage rolls and lollies. And I think there will be lots of people telling me they are hungry and asking me what’s for dinner, and a pile of dishes that never ends. The only music there will be to listen to, apart from Justin is Taylor Swift played slightly too loud or sung in my ear by over enthusiastic 9 yr olds , wearing garish makeup and too short skirts, or Slayer blasting incessantly. So these are some of the things that made up my week, tell me what is your idea of your personal Hell?
