If wishes were ponies we'd all have a ride.
Or...
We could forget the wishes and just pay $5 and get a pony ride in the parking lot of a strip mall in Missouri.
Yes.
I paid $5 for a pony ride...
...in a strip mall parking lot...
...in Missouri.
I mean...yes. I probably am contributing to the downfall of society and animal rights everywhere by doing this but...
Come on!
Pony Rides!
And I know you're thinking 'it was 100 degrees' and 'they mistreat the animals' but I promise this guy was totally legit!
I know I've read a million different things about not supporting this type thing because of PETA or whatever...
But...
Pony Rides!
Seriously, just say the words 'pony rides' out load right now.
Did you do it?
No?
Well, trust me if you had you would have paid $5 too.
Cowgirl loved it!
And the fact that she wasn't even wearing shoes for the ride makes it all so much more apropos.
He got in on it too.
His pony even had a Batman cape.
On the grand scale of things it's unethical to pay for this isn't even the worst thing I've done.
Heck...
Back in the day Billy payed $10 for me to get to hold a lion cub in the parking lot of the Opelika Mall in Opelika, Alabama.
So, at least a pony isn't an exotic animal.
The pony ride really wasn't that bad.
Plus...we paid for our lack of ethics.
About an hour after this she got super sick.
Projectile sick.
'Gross your older brothers out' sick.
'Do we really have seven more hours to drive 'til we get home' sick
So...
Karma.
She'll get you every time!
I love Missouri. We went there for a band trip when I was in 7th grade. But there must be something about it because when we were driving back home a boy got sick to. The boy sitting across from me. Awful. Although we did go to silver dollar city! Best time ever tried to convince the family to go, but no one wanted to drive that far... I see their point.
