QUES: This year , I surprised everyone and took my son to the parade . Nevermind that my popular refrain about parades was , " you ' ve seen one parade , you ' ve seen them all . " Or that I actually drove to the suburb I lived in for almost 15 years to see their 4th of July parade when I never did get around to going to it when I lived there .

ANS:
I was completely surprised by just how much I enjoyed the procession .
