...AND TOKYO GETS 2020!

That's right, Tokyo has been selected as the host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics. The announcement came at 5:20 a.m. Tokyo time (8:20am New Zealand time), but a large crowd watching on an outdoor video screen burst into cheers. Tokyo previously hosted the Summer Games in 1964. Japan's bid for 2020 billed the city as the safe choice - despite radiation leaking from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe personally made a presentation to the committee and promised an effective cleanup. But that's not all there is to discuss tonight. Now it can be hard for families to agree on where to go for dinner or any family outing. Case in point: following 45 minutes of intense arguing and bitter protests, a heated screaming match between members of the Carroll family of Wheaton, Illinois came to an end on Thursday evening with a consensus to eat dinner at Macaroni Grill. The emotionally charged dispute among the family of four, in which parents and children alike alternately shouted insults across the kitchen and sharply criticized each other’s character and food preferences, reportedly concluded when all parties eventually agreed that Macaroni Grill, an Italian-inspired chain eatery, was an acceptable choice for their weekly family restaurant night. The quarrel is said to have escalated within minutes, as family members could be heard yelling the phrases “I’m f***ing sick of this,” “Cheesecake Factory is off the table,” “I hate pasta,” and “Don’t put words in my mouth” throughout the suburban residence. According to accounts, the protracted period of fierce squabbling included numerous threats to leave the house, repeated usages of the word “unfair,” several personal accusations entirely unrelated to the argument at hand, and suggestions for alternate dinner plans — including Chili’s and California Pizza Kitchen — that were swiftly and angrily rejected. So just be aware of that next time you want to plan a family outing.
