County fair fun and games
“I want to play basketball! It’s my sport! I can do it. It’s easy! Not sure why I keep missing… I just need to make a basket.”
”I want a snack. Can I have popcorn? Is there chocolate? I really like chocolate. Look — chocolate cookies! With sprinkles”
”They have Star Wars hats! And Pokémon!”
“Can I get a princess cape? Or a purse? Maybe a backpack. It goes with my earmuffs and my shoes.”
What to ride at the county fair
”The cars are my favorite. Will you go with me? Or the train. That’s my favorite too. Look! The carousel — I love the horses. Maybe there’s a unicorn. If there’s a unicorn, I want to ride it!”
“What ride can I ride? Is there a maze? Maybe a slide. I don’t know if I like the slide. My leg hurts from the slide last time. What’s that spinning ride? Is it scary? I don’t know what ride I want to go on. Not the rollercoaster. That looks too scary. I didn’t like the Ferris wheel last time. Oh I can’t decide. Definitely not the roller coaster.”
”I want to do the bungy jumpie. There’s the bungy jumpy! We can wait!”
“I could ride the cat. Or the leopard. There’s even a dragon. It doesn’t go up and down though. It’s better when it goes up and down. The horse with the flag! Or the roses!”
Nitro popcorn
“I see rainbow-colored popcorn! Is it on fire? It’s smoking! Why does the popcorn do that?”
”Unicorn popcorn? Do unicorns eat popcorn?”
”Can we buy a unicorn? I always wanted a unicorn. Or an otter.”
”Is it almost lunchtime? Are we eating here? I want to eat here. The popcorn was really good. I’m hungry. Maybe we can get a snack? I like hot dogs. Can we get strawberries? And some candy. Unicorn candy to go with the unicorn popcorn!”
”I want a hamburger. No cheese. No mustard or onions or pickles or tomatoes. I don’t want any salad. Strawberries are good. Or pears. Or watermelon. But not that other melon. I like oranges and apples too. Can you cut them up?”
