Ah, dreams. The one place where you can do and be and have whatever you want! Unless you're me, apparently.
The setting: a big, happy, colorful carnival, full of rides and food carts and games! The people: Billy, Faye, and myself.
"Oh look, mommy! Funnel cakes! Yay!"
"Alright! Yum! How much are they? Eight dollars? Yeesh. Oh well, no matter. It's a dream! Surely I've got plenty of...nope. Damn. Gonna have to find a cheaper snack."
"Hey, hon. Look! Roller coaster!"
"Heck yeah! Let's ride! ...Hmm, it appears there's a height restriction. Well, guess you and I will have to ride this one without Faye, but that's okay cuz we never get to do things without the kid. How much is it?...Six dollars each? For one ride? Isn't there, like, a wristband that'll let you ride everything? Those are THIRTY DOLLARS???"
Goddamn carnivals. They're even a ripoff in my sleeping imagination. We spent all day (night?) there and didn't get to do anything but look at the animals and 4H displays.
