Queenie the Elephant

I was at the carnival. Which was fun, but not as fun as Cirque de la Mer or anything- now that was amazing- and musing on just how cynical kids are today. I mean, fifty years ago those kids would have been wowed and seeing the show of a lifetime- but today all they said was "Ehhh, I want some cotton candy. Can I ride the pony now?"

*sigh* Anyway, then intermission came along, and since all the entertainment was twenty dollars or more I chose to draw the animals. While I was drawing Kelly came up to me and asked me (jokingly) if I would draw her kids on it for less than fourteen bucks- anyway, it drew the carnie's attention; he asked to see the pic. Yay, I show him the pic, then proceed to draw the ponies. Then the elephant carnie walks over and gives me a ticket, saying "You can just say you found it on the ground or something."

What can I say? I rode the elephant. That's the first time I've ever gotten anything for my pithy pictures- I mean, it was a forty second pic, come on! (I thought about giving the carnie the pic, but...He lives with the freaking thing, he doesn't need a picture, and my sweat blood and tears went into that sketch!...well, not really, I'm just selfish. ^_^;;;)

Maybe I'll stick the pic up here, when I can get to a scanner...
