Fall Fair, my foot. Should be fall UN-fair. My sibling's elementary school set up a fall festival in a small dirt field next to the school where the kids run around at recess. Mom bought enough tickets so that we all got four and we went in. The sun was high, bright and hot. My brother Jed was my partner and he wandered aimlessly around looking at the booths. Mom said, later on that she had received fliers proclaiming everything to be free. To our disappointment, nothing was. Everything cost about a dollar or a couple quarters. Not too bad. Jed didn't seem to want to do anything even tough I gladly handed over my tickets to him. He would have more fun than I ever would.I took him to the pie throwing thing, and the girl took four out of eight of his tickets just so he could miss. he tried four of the "If your a lucky piece of crap you get a pencil" games. They replaced the cake walk with a book walk. Whoop-dee-do. His friends ran by and talked with Jed for a while. They showed him bags that they decorated with pictures of dead army guys on them. One of the kids WAS a lucky piece of crap. He won a inflatable green guitar, a fan, suckers, money, stickers and a tattoo, as he kept telling us. There was good music playing and the sweet smell of the Texas Roadhouse food drifted over to us. But, all our money had dissolved for the tickets. There were a bunch of old ladies and young ladies from church selling stuff. Like, plaques for that space on the wall, the plaques declaring things like, "BLESS THIS HOUSE." "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS." There was also jewelry booths and scrapbook booths. The sun sat in the middle of the sky and our stomaches growled. Mom gathered us all up, and we went home.
There was no promised hay ride or cotton candy... but there was a jumper, so they had fun. I can't say I did. You probably know that by now. Actually, it wasn't all bad. but now my Grandma is coming over bringing us some lovely Fast Food. I love it when she visits. Ok well, happy fall yall and ill post again soon.
Piece!
