We Went To the Animal Fair

All of the birds and bees were presumably there, but there were no bulls....or if there were, we couldn't find any much to WildChild's disappointment. "I don't WANT to see cows, I want to see the bulls" he kept insisting. The goats & rabbits were a hit as always, but he seemed more fascinated with the fountain & koi pond set up in the gardening exhibition hall.

Kids are weird.

He rode tons of rides, and begged until Pa won him a prize at the balloon dart game. The lady showed him the prizes he could pick from, and asked him which he wanted. "A pogo stick," he replied. She almost fell out of the booth laughing. He settled for a cheesy plastic bow & arrow set, of which he was immensely proud.

As we were leaving, we got him some cotton candy since he'd been a very good boy. After we got into the car, I told him to be careful eating it because it was made out of clown hair.

When I finally told him I was just teasing (because he flatly refused to eat it) he said I was a very bad Ma.

And his point was?

Still looking for the down side of that.

Seriously though, isn't that what it looks like? Kinda creepy.
