Carousel Macabre

You know how sometimes stuff intended for little kids is actually indescribably creepy?

Welcome to the carousel we rode on last week. IT WANTS TO EAT YOUR FACE

The girls were blissfully unaware of anything out of the ordinary...

...like the fact that their "pink ponies" were undeniably carnivorous and probably had the plague.

And that these "beautiful rainbow horses" were probably going to steal their souls if I turned my back.

I mean seriously. That ravenous side eye. Yikes.

Also, who created this lovely work of art? A deranged spray-paint-loving clown?

ANYWAY. Amongst all the rejected horses of the apocalypse were two giraffes and one chicken.

I don't get it either.

Fortunately we survived two (surprisingly fast and un-seat-belted) go-rounds without losing any digits or being turned into blood-thirsty werepoultry or something. Bonus: I didn't get motion sick. All in all it was a successful, if a bit disconcerting, outing.

The things we do for our kids.
