…….continued from Friday’s post
When I fially woke up from an unconscience state, I had no idea where I was or why. (Lucky for Dora, I couldn’t recall at the time that her punk ass ran over me just moments before).
Since I had never looked around the Diner/Museum from the ground, I noticed this place was even more random than I once suspected. There were things like:
Giant pants, toys, and brooms
A giant hammer with the wrong verb written across it
and a hipster version of Minnie Mouse
I started looking around for Dora, but she was gone. I finally found her at this Blacksmith shop
Me: Dora, what are you doing here?
Dora: I was just covering for the blacksmith while he’s out.
Me: Well, he’ll just have to deal. We got places to go.
Dora: Like where?
Me: Like school, missy. I don’t wanna get in trouble with a nosey social worker for not having you in school.
Dora didn’t last very long at this school.
Dora: This school is weird. The Paperboy was mean. And the sailer offered me whisky. And the teacher was flirting with the boys.
Me: Finally, people who don’t like you!
Dora: They were mean. Besides, they were reading books that didn’t exist back then.
Me: Okay, fine. We’ll go. But I’m gonna show you where you’ll end up if you don’t go to school.
Dora: This is a weird jail. Why is there a cash register and Teddy Roosevelt on horseback?
Sheriff: Cuz you gotta pay me to get out of jail, little girl. And I like Teddy. What’s wrong with that?
Dora: Nothing. I was just curious.
Sheriff: Here, little girl. Take a prisoner sticker as a constant reminder of where you could end up.
Dora: Thanks, Mister.
Me: Hey look! A clown!
Dora: He’s scarey. Can we go please?
Me: Sure. But first, I wanna show you what will happen to you if you’re bad.
Dora: But they don’t allow that kind of punishment in American anymore.
Me: In America, no. But in countries like yours, you better watch out.
Dora: But America is my country.
Me: Sure, and Japan is mine.
Me: Hey Dora, look at this old homestead shack
Dora: I don’t understand this place at all. It doesn’t seem very historically accurate.
Me: What, you don’t think they had old people and lap dogs back then?
Dora: Well, I just thought the smiley face thingy was something from the 80′s.
Me: Oh, you don’t think people ever said “have a happy day” until the 1980′s?
Dora: Okay. But what about that giant dog. It looks like Spud Mackenzie.
Me: Oh, look at you, Miss 80′s reference queen.
Dora: Why is that man touching himself and making that face?
Me: Cuz he either has to pee real bad, or he’s a perve. What’s new? We attract them everywhere we go. You’ll eventually get used to it.
Dora: Can we go please?
Me: Yep.
Finally, we left that freak’n place! Most historically inacurate day on Summer Tour 2009, ever!
