Perhaps you thought I was going to write about the inflatables locations called Pump it Up, where young children go to birthday parties. I recall that we hosted a couple of parties there when our son was small and probably attended several more for his little friends.

To prove this, just listen to a few phone calls of yourself or some of the reps in your office.
