little bitty girl

Today, I went out in a skirt, tank top and a jean jacket. Bad idea. My brain can't reconcile with the fact that the seasons, they are a-changing.

Every year, the end of summer in Toronto is marked by the closing of the Canadian National Exhibition or better known as just, the Ex during Labour Day weekend. It's basically a hodge podge of dodgy food, money wasting games, questionable safety rides and SO MUCH FUN! It's not really something you do with just two people but in a big group. As usual the boys were all grumping about being forced to go with the girls but secretly, you know they love the idea of playing games and eating cotton candy.

We didn't win any hideous stuffed animals but we did go on rides. I felt so bad because there were a couple of rides where there were some little girls bawling their eyes out. Our wicked boys just howled with laughter and I told them that one day their little girls will go on those rides and cry too. I am sure they'll feel much more differently then. I swear the next time we go, I am going to go on the Crazy Mouse roller coaster and the giant slide. I don't care how "babyish" those things are. Everyone was making fun of me, saying how I might not be tall enough to go on rides. If I am small enough to pass as a child, I should be allowed to relive my childhood memories by going on all the silly rides too.
