Who's the ghetto Mickey Mouse you ask? No, it isn't the carnival mascot. That's my wife. hehe.

Yeah, I took her to her first local carnival today, the Punahou Carnival. For those who don't know, this carnival has been hosted by one of the big local private schools here every year around this time for as long as I can remember.

9 out of 10 times it always rains during this carnival, so it's sort of been a tradition to just go and get dirty at this event. I think I must have lost at least one pair of slippers in that mud field over these years.

Anyway, I thought I'd take my wife over for the experience this year. I told her, "Dress with your crappy clothes because it's going to be a mud fest." Sure enough, it's been raining on and off for the past 2 or 3 weeks so that field was nice and ripe.

She didn't have any junk shoes so her idea was to get these 2 plastic bags to put over her feet. I didn't think she was serious until we got there and put them on. Yeah we'd walk by people and everyone pointed down at her feet, "Hey, good idea!"

I was more embarrassed then she was. I think when it comes to choosing between looking like a hobo or ruining a pair of shoes. I think I'm ready to toss the shoes.
