carnival at the local mall

this weekend is the local carnival and as i pass by i see all the rides and i see all the money that i forgot to bring. wanting to ride and enjoy myself and eat food and while I'm day dreaming i head on home. now mind you i didn't even know it was that time of the year but as a kid i was always there. back in the day the local carnival came right after labor day and i had my money all linned up to spend and buy things. i was always happy to win and even though i didn't think much about what I had won i was just happy to say i had won or ride on a crazy ride,etc... getting hot dogs, drinks, chips,etc... and oh cotton candy was always a blast. running back into the mall after i had won something was like a badge of honor. npw fast forward with the price of gas and other items extra high and the hustle of the vendors and the people that run this fun event i knew I had to enjoy by watching as I looked into my empty wallet but with gifts i had bought that i could truly enjoy.
