Old MacDonald’s Farm

Dora and I were driving down the highway one day and came across this sign

I couldn’t believe Old MacDonald was a real person with an actual farm.

Dora had just learned that song in school last year, so of course she started singing it (cuz she’s the kind of annoying kid who would do that)

Dora: Old Mac-Donald had a farm.

Me: Shut up Dora. I hate that song.

Although I didn’t have enough money to waist on such a stupid amusement park, I convinced Dora it was because of her height. She was super bummed, although she doesn’t look so in this picture

Me: Sorry your height ruined it for both of us Dora. Oh well. I guess we’ll just have to keep moving
Dora: Wait. Please, Miss. Can we please just go take a picture with the piggies? Really quick?

Me: Okay. You know how much I love pictures.

But Dora was careless and the next thing I know

her head fell off in the pig pen.

Me: Great Dora. How the hell am I supposed to get your head back now? I can’t afford to pay all that money to go inside just to get your stupid head

Just then, I noticed the people behind the fence.

Me: Hey, Mister. Can you please hand me my Piniata’s head?

The apathetic Dad was too busy doing business to hear me.

Old Drunk Man: You need something Miss?

Me: Um yeah, can you get my piniata’s head for me?

Old Man: Sure, sure. There ya go little lady. Good as new

Dora: Hey Mister…. Will you be my new Daddy?
Old Man: Sorry, toots, but I ain’t got enough whiskey at home for the both of us.

It was a great day on Old MacDonald’s Farm
