This week the Carnival rolled into town. We went with my friend Olivia, Aunt Mary, Uncle John, Grandpa, and Great Uncle Mike.
It was really cool. We went to the petting zoo, watched an alligator show, ate a sausage sandwich, ate some ice cream and walked around a lot. I am a little too young to go on most of the rides.
We also watched a diving show which was pretty exciting – At the end, one of divers plunged 85 feet into the tank. The only bad part of the show was having to listen Daddy tell me “see, if you don’t do well in school you will be wearing funny clothes and diving into a tank in front of a couple dozen people.”
After that I was thirsty so we went to get some lemonade at one of the stands. While Mommy stood in line, Daddy told me “see if you don’t do well in school you will be squashing lemons and adding sugar.”
Then we went to play one of the games that seemed so easy. All you had to do is bounce a ball into a laundry basket and you could win a massive stuffed animal. Aunt Mary tried unsuccessfully and lost $5 in about 6 seconds. As the man added the $5 bill to his stack of cash, Daddy told me that perhaps he overestimated the benefits of formal education and that Carnival life wasn’t so bad.
