We went to the state fair today and this is when I came upon a very interesting sight. yes, there was trailer trash a plenty and more makeup than you’ll ever find at a Mary Kay convention combined, but the best thing to watch was those god blessed sheep.

I have never seen this in real life, the practice of volunteering ones children to be put in helmets and force them to hold on for dear life as the sheep is cast out into a ring where it runs about and eventually throws the now emotionally damaged child into the mud. Face first. And the crowd claps, points, and laughs. The child might never be the same.

But here is the bit I was fascinated with! The sheep, having rolled over the kid, kicked it in its head and managed back to its nimble feet, that sheep runs to meet its friends at the end of the caged in area, Baaaaaahing contentedly, proclaiming to all of its friends that if they have missed it, he has in fact made another mini human run off crying. The sheep seem to enjoy this way to much. And in turn, I grew a new found respect for the sheep. Once it reached its friends they baaaaaaahed at each other, maybe shared a head butt and returned their attention to the next contestant, who was currently raising from the mud, confused, and screaming for its mommy. I swear, the sheep were laughing. Fuckers.
