Things Observed at the County Fair

We took the kids to the county fair the other night.  The weather was absolutely perfect which is unusual for early August.  A summer of heat induced hibernation meant one thing on that gorgeous night…LOTS of people were out making for a fascinating night of people watching. In no particular order, here are a few disturbing "interesting" observations:
·    A mother standing completely upright with her shirt pulled up nursing her baby in front of one of the kiddy rides – no nursing cover or anything (I should note that I am currently a nursing mother and this was....for lack of a better word without sounding judgemental "gutsy").
·    Teenage girls consider it a bold fashion statement to let their butt cheeks hang below their shorts (this is very disturbing to me).
·    Teenage boys have no consistent fashion statement other than acne.
·    Cow manure is the strongest of all manures that we had the great pleasure of sniffing.
·    I am now addicted to nicotine from the gobs of second hand smoke.
·    I still get queasy just looking at the ferris wheel.
·    Watching junior high kids flirt is very uncomfortable (never.want.to.be.that.age.again)
And there you have it...
