Dads Best Friend

Chapter 11

We went to eat lunch and headed to a couple of stores to waste some time before the carnival.

Around 4:30 we make it to the carnival and buy the tickets.

Little kids run around yelling at there mom and dads to hurry up.

I look around and immediately catch eye of a clown walking around.

"Shit" I mumble

I forgot that people might be dressed up in clown costumes.

I've been scared of clowns since I was a little kid.

My mom bought one for my birthday party and let's just say it didn't end well.

I slow my steps until I get in between my mom and Archer.

I take my moms hand in mine and try to calm down.

She looks down at me with a smile.

"You ok sweetie?"

I nod my head even though I'm not.

I turn to my left and look past Archer to make sure the clown is still where it was.

My eyes go wide when I see it walking toward us.

I snatch Archer arm and hide behind him.

He pulls me into his side and wraps his arm around my shoulders.

He kisses the top of my head and whispers. "I got you."

Th clown walks past us without sparing us a glance.

I breath a sigh of relief.

"Ok, what first?"My dad asks

"I want some cotton candy"

We head over to the little shack and order 4 cotton candy's.

I get blueberry so does mom and Archer, dad gets strawberry.

We walk around figuring out what we want to do while we eat our cotton candy.

We decide the balloon pop game and I go first.

I hit all the balloons and win a stuffed toy.

I look At the options and see a dolphin.

I smile and point to the stuffed animals for the worker to get it down.

He hand it to me while my mom try's to pop the balloons for her turn.

I try not to laugh at my mom getting mad at the balloons for not popping but it's to hard.

I walk up to her and pull her head down to my mouth. "Aim for the bottom two rows and aim at the top of the balloons."

She does as I say and pops all but one.

The worker is glaring at me because I knew about the trick and told her.

I playfully winked at him and laugh.

I turn to Archer and hand him the dolphin.
"For you." I murmur

He takes it out my hand and looks at it for a minute.

He looks back at me and leans down to hug me.

I hug him back and savor his warmth and scent.

"Thanks babygirl." He whispers

I nod my head and pull away.

I turn around to see my mom smiling the biggest smile at us.

I roll my eyes.
