The Fair just isn't Fair

Last night we went to the Fair. We had actually tried to go Saturday, but the weather looked like it as going to be really bad, so I talked Hads out of going. There was something about being in the middle of the midway with Hadley and Ellison and the bottom falling out that just wasn't appealing to me. Wayne gave me a pretty hard time, but the truth is he was helping convince her too!! So we went to the Fair. The curly haired Diva got to ride lots of overpriced rides, she got to work with a blacksmith and make a horseshoe necklace, we looked at the animals and then as we were leaving, she decided the evening couldn't end on a good note. She had seen some ponies that she wanted to ride. You know the ones that walk in a circle for about 5 laps and then you are done. We weren't sure if the ride would be included with the pass we had already purchased for her or it would be additional, so we agreed to walk over and take a look. As we expected it was not included and it would cost $5. She was not happy when her Daddy informed her that there was no way he was paying $5 to make 5 laps on a horse, when she had to perfectly capable horses in the back yard that she was not the least bit interested in. You are correct, if you guessed that his line of logical thinking meant nothing to her and we were met with the SULK. As we walked out to the car, she informed me that she was upset and would not be speaking to any of us the entire ride home. Ummm yes, punish me please, please don't talk to me the whole ride home. I'm sure it won't come as a shock that her refusal to speak, lasted a whole 5 minutes and we were again witness to her spectacular DIVA tude. It's so sad the Fair just isn't Fair.
