The Fun House

You must go to the fun house! It is the carnival’s best thing! My children said. I pictured whimsical trees, pink birdies and lollipops eating sweetbread. I slowed down my steps when we got there, it was frightening instead. Terrorized completely, as an electric saw came toward me I quickly fled. That is the fun of it, my children yelled after my departing head. But I was home, hiding under the safety of my lovely queen bed.

I would be, too. I do not like to be frightened out of my gourd! I do not see the fun in it, at all. It's sort of like going on a giant roller coaster to me. Why put my life in jeopardy for THAT kind of thrill.

I have to admit I am not one who likes ANYTHING scary.
