How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Maybe Now I’ve Seen Everything?

in Everyday on 09/19/11

-A young girl with seven piercings in each ear, two in her nose, one in her lip and one in her bulging child like abdomen. 

-A toddler, “double fisting it”.  Chocolate milk in one bottle, blue Kool-aid in the other?  Sigh.

-A man in a wheelchair.  Three emerald green parrots on his shoulder, poop running freely down his back, and an empty bird cage perched on his lap.

-Huge groups of flirty teens running amuck.

-Proud Dad’s holding hands with their daughters.  Both having conquered their biggest fears.

-Men with no teeth hocking their wares.

-Mama’s snapping pictures of so many firsts.

-Screaming kids.

-Screaming adults!  (That might have been me.)

-People smiling, laughing, strolling, and munching.

All sites and sounds from the best people watching on earth.

The annual fall fair.

 Fair  Fair3   P5250307

 

Don’t miss my great FlatJacks Giveaway!!

      Fairs really bring out the best in people, don’t they? And, as I learned this past weekend, flea markets do, too.

      Oh I could have written one of these haha! Also went to a fair this weekend. Apparently it was a small town fair that had grown up rather quickly over the years of construction of new homes in the area… it was like country fair met city fair. Best part was the smash up derby! Didn’t get myself on any rides though. Going to another one this coming weekend!

    14. Laura@Cowboy Boots says
