CNE

Dad – The boys and I went to the CNE, and we took a friend. It was the first time for all of us (yes, even me).

Jayden – Show the pig picture first.
Dad – Why do you want the pig picture?
Jayden – Because Marlon’s a baby piggy, and I’m a baby piggy, and we’re cuddling the momma piggy.

Dad – How about the one where you get to be a farmer?
Jayden – Yes. I’m the boy farmer and Marlon is the girl farmer. That’s why I have a sad face and he has a kissy face.

Jayden – Then I got to be a police dog, and Ethan got to be a police officer. He doesn’t have police officer glasses though. He has soccer glasses. You can tell because they’re not shiny. Police officer glasses are shiny.

Jayden – The best part was the army part. We did an obstacle course, and I had to do push ups. Then I cut dad’s hand with a poster [which is true], so an army lady had to get him a bandaid. Then we got to see a big cannon.

Jayden – Marlon got to put the army stuff on, but I couldn’t. The army man said it was too heavy.

Jayden – But I got to go in the jeep and Marlon didn’t. In the jeep, you turn this thing, and it makes the top go around. It’s for turning around a gun, but they took the gun off so that kids can’t, like, kill people.

Dad – So the army part was the best?

Jayden – Yeah. And the drum dancers. And the trampoline guys. And the icecream cones with the cookies and the bacon. And the backwards ride. Oh yeah, and when we lost the friend.

Dad – Losing a kid was a good part?

Jayden – Yeah, you were, like, freaking out. We should go again next year.
