It was so much fun to see my home town in full swing at the annual fair. I so enjoy the atmosphere on the Friday night. It's so funny the different reactions you have to people. I have put these reactions into a few categories.
1.Friends that you are really excited to see, so you stand chatting for ages, not caring that you are blocking the only entrance to the food stands.
2. Yummy Mommys. I try to avoid these well kept women. They make me feel frumpy. I can see them look me up and down. Ya Ya I peaked in high school, big deal!
3. Ex boyfriends. UUgh. I dated a few guys from rural Manitoba. They all seem to come to the fair!! Quick hello and keep walking.
4. The double takers. These people have changed ALOT since high school. Your not sure if it's who you think it is, so you smile and once again, keep walking.
5. People who haven't changed a bit. Still single, no kids, same face with no worry lines. Same figure and same size jeans. Time to move on..
6. Parents of people you graduated with. They love to fill you in on how great their children are doing. And they leave nothing out. Half an hour later your still there listening to them go on and on and on...
7. You run into someone near the porta potties, they ask you to wait while they pee and as soon as the door shuts you grab your kids and bolt!!! Huh? Where'd she go? RH+ taught me this one.
And that is my perception of the fair. What I love best is seeing all the children of people I used to know. Seeing people from days gone by in the role of parents.
Speaking of being a parent, did you know that 2 of my children were conceived during the Fair weekend? It's true. I guess my bodies reaction to Fireworks is to ovulate! So now the question is, will we be seeing a new Thornhill in February? I guess time will tell. The fireworks were fantastic!
Oh ya, almost forgot... halfway through the night I realized to my horror that my FLY WAS OPEN!! Shit, now I know why people were looking me up and down!! I hate it when that happens! I tried to tell myself that it probably just happened, but the reality is it had most likely been that way for some time. Bummer.

I would stick to the "it just happened" theory.

Hey...didn't I see you by the port-a-potties?? (jj)
As for the zipper thing...I wouldn't worry too much, you had a stroller in front of you the whole night.
