The "fun room"... the room everyone wants to be invited to. The room at every family get together that people escape to. Everyone knows about the fun room. Some have never been included, some are too old to give a shit about it anymore.
You hang out, talk about things that interest you, and laugh. It's good times. It makes family get togethers enjoyable. But sooner or later you have to leave because no matter how much you've held it in, inevitably, you have to leave to go to the bathroom. And you always figure, "Hey, I'll grab a beer on the way back!" But nearly every time, someone stops you to talk about something pointless. Kids. Weather. Whatever. Something you don't give a shit about. You stand there hoping to Jesus that someone will come rescue you. But they don't. Because they're doing the same exact thing you did twenty minutes ago. They're holding it so they don't have to go through the room full of drowsy old people and moms.
