C'ville Win... O CRAP!
So... a week ago from today my dad gets a strange phone call from some bar in Waveland. It turned out to be my dad's step brother Bill. In other words my Uncle Bill. I never knew I had an uncle Bill. From what all I learnt tonight I have a lot of family I never knew about. Anyways, my father is talking to Bill and he asks him what's he doing with his life. Turns out Uncle Bill used to be a fireman. But somehow or another the goverment made him mad and he quit that. He called to tell my dad that he was going to be in Frankfort for 9 days at the 4-H fair. Yes, my Uncle Bill became a carni.
Nick and I told my dad that we would go with him today. We thought we would go and get a good laugh out of this mini adventure with my dad. This night has became one of my greatest nights of carnival history. My uncle owns a booth called, "Bill's fish Booth." So, when we found it my dad walks up to this shirt chubby man and blantly asks, "Are you Bill?" The man looks at him replies with yes and my dad says, "I'm ROD CURRAN!" The man flips out and is very excited. Dad, Nick, and myself then walk to go get food and promised Uncle Bill that we will be back to hang out with him. Dad goes to see Uncle Bill and Nicholas and I go to try and win a prize. We got cheated 5 bucks by shear confusion and won this ugly little dog that we named Carni. When we met up with Dad and Uncle Bill we rode rides. At first UNcle Bill would take us to a certain ride and tell the guy running it that we were with him. We didn't have to pay. But then his booth got busy and the other guy was gettin swamped so while Nick and I were on the Pharoh UNcle Bill took dad to where all the fish were stored and gave us VIP passes to all the rides. By the time we were about to leave I thought I was going to puke all over the place. Luckily it's just been a headache. I was sad to leave my Uncle Bill but he promised me thta when a carnival comes near C'ville he will call my dad and we can do it all again sometime.
This adventure really taught me a lesson though. I shouldn't judge people. Even though a lot of carni's are mean and smoke in the UFO thing and cheat you out of your money there are those awesome ones like my uncle Bill. And now I think I'm not going to be so quik to judge them. They are just trying to make a living like we are. God Bless the Carni's!!
That is all...
