WHY are there no ADULTS-ONLY small parks?

I thought of this as I tried to enjoy this first truly humid, summerlike day on a park bench in a...um, park. A small little park near my house. And, of course, a swarm of small children were screaming all around me. Yes, there was a playground...but I guess that's my point...MUST there be a fucking playground?! I guess it's too much to expect, say, porn booths to distract the family set. But i'm just wondering WHERE the fuck i'm supposed to go to enjoy some peace and quiet?

By the way, I've never been closer than I was on Saturday at the mall in Paramus to kicking one of those "fun" strollers that are made to resemble small cars or something...and take up an UNGODLY amount of room. And these stupid ass parents had TWO of them side by side for each child. Those fucking kids are lucky Uncle Gary didn't forcefully kick their Kiddie Cars straight back into Baby Gap and the fuck out of my on-a-mission way as they all strolled at Negative Two MPH. Just like Morning People, these motherfucking parents...utterly unaware that there's people other than them.

Anyway...I had my Ipod on high volume throughout my bench stay (where I also sipped a most refreshing Dunkin Donuts iced latte) as a buffer against The Noise. Truth be told, I wasn't that annoyed. I had a lovely 45-minute or so sitdown despite the kids. I've been in a great mood all damn day. Like some new Summer Era has begun. Very zen. It also helped that my tax stimulus check finally came...should've come LAST week. And my 2-week-plus cold is finally just about gone. I've just felt great in every way. Just went for a refreshing 10:45pm brief bike ride to enjoy the breezy, lower humidity conditions. Oh, the minutae! But, yeah, I'm sick of The Children...if I haven't made that clear recently...
