I took the kids to Emma's school carinval today and it was lame-o. The kids like it but thats because they dont know any better. there is now kind of presintation at the school carnivals theses days, no booths, no banners , just games sitting on the black top. To top it off this year they added a new level of suck. Last year when you played a game if you won you got a crappy prize and if you lost you got a extra crapy prize. This year you gave the game attendant your tickets and if you won they gave you a diferent color ticket. YEAH! a ticket!Then you take the winner ticket and go to the prize station ah-la peter pipper pizza. After we got home I was hanging with my gandmother and I was telling her about the carnival and she started reminising about carivals when my mom was a little girl. She siad they had a bucket of water witha dollar at the bottom and you had tho reach in and grab it, the thing was there was a generator hooked up to the bucket and you got shocked with an electric current so you couldnt grab it. She said the kids hand would flop aroud and not be able to hold the dollar. Then my mom said that her dad riged up a dummy that shocked you when you shook its hand. That stuff actualy sounds fun. The funest thing at Emmas carnival was the fishing game, and every one got the same exact prize a plush starfish that looked more like the cingular logo than a starfish, but at least you got a prize not a ticket.
