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.

      Yeah the town fair is always a source of amusement and I can’t go on rides or play games it’s people watching all the way

      I was gonna say the same thing, if you lived here. I guess every town or city has its fair share of eccentric people. I like how you put the toddler was “double fisting” it. That sounds like something my 3yr. old would do. But that disgusting that the man in the wheel chair had bird poop all over his back.

      People watching is always one of the best things. And fairs? I love those two. Great combo.

      Oh yes, you see everything at the fair.

      When I think of piercings, I think of National Lampoon’s Vacation where they meet the weird ho-dunk cousins and the teenager has safety-pinned his lips together all the way across. He can only mutter.

      Cracks me up every time I think of it.

      Bird poop is temporarily gross. Piercings are forever gross. ughh.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
