Local Moms Throw Down at the Chuck E. Cheese, FARK Rejoices

030308-chuck-e-cheese.JPGThe tag line for Chuck E. Cheese is "Where a kid can be a kid." It should be amended to say, "Where a kid can be a kid, and where an adult can be an asshole."

Massachusetts just came one harrowing step closer to getting its own FARK tag with this tale of two moms who duked it out at a Chuck E. Cheese in Natick. The moms started fighting during a child's birthday party because one of their sons "hogged" an arcade game, the MetroWest Daily News reports.

If all statements are true, a game was indeed hogged, but instead of the kids fighting over the hogging, the moms got into it instead:

Aliaga took offense to Williams' 13-year-old son using a basketball game machine for a long time, the sergeant said. Aliaga told her son to be patient while the other boy had his turn with the game.

At one point, Williams' son apparently pushed the boy, who accused him of "hogging" the game.

Aliaga said the other boy was done shooting hoops, and Williams replied, "No, he's not," Thompson said.

"Next thing you know, words were exchanged," and things got physical between the moms with shouts, shoves and pushes, the sergeant said.

Way to set an example, moms! Perhaps Chuck E. Cheese should consider oiling up the ball bin and installing a hose and a keg so the moms can just get everything over with in a proper wrestling match while the kids have a nice birthday party. The kids probably don't even remember what they were fighting about in the first place.

By the way, the FARKers were all over it. The best FARK comment was the following question: "How many tickets did the winner receive?"
