Zevin went on vacation with his family to Disneyland and says that his daughter found Rainforest Cafe, a theme restaurant built to resemble the environment, surprisingly scary. "There we all were, happily enjoying our nightly intake of chicken fingers, tenders, strips and/or nuggets," Zevin wrote. "Suddenly, the place goes pitch-black, a roar of thunder rips through the room, and a simulated lightning storm sends the taxidermy [animals] into a frenzy of shrieking and squawking." Because Zevin's daughter Josie was upset, her uncle suggested she order a chocolate volcano for dessert. "Little did he know this remedy would be dispensed by a team of actors/waiters who stampede around your table screaming, 'Vol-can-o! Vol-can-o! Vol-can-o!'" Zevin says he flashed back to when he and his wife saw a real volcano erupt in Indonesia. "It was pretty scary," Zevin wrote. "The presentation of the chocolate one was scarier. I finally had to slip one of the screaming actor/waiters ten bucks and ask him to take it down a notch."
