PB&J Stuffed Pancakes

Another weekend, another freakin’ fair I end up at.

The Washington state fair is happening and it’s the biggest hillbilly parade I think I’ve ever seen.

I know I’m from Tennessee & I have very little room to discuss this topic, but I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer. We walked in & our friend was like, “We gotta watch the Mutton Busting!” I’ll give you all a couple of seconds to guess what that is before I reveal to you the disturbing answer.

We walk up to this miniature bull riding pit sans all of the bulls. Instead, there is a herd of sheep in the corner. (Is it a herd if it’s sheep? Idk). There is an obnoxious announcer in leather chaps. He blows his horn & out comes an angry sheep with a HUMAN CHILD ON IT’S BACK. The child soon falls off & gets physically trampled by the sheep. The parents of said child are hooping & hollering like their spawn has not just gotten run over by a farm animal. I’m not a mother, but who willingly signs a child up for this? There are literally one million other activities that are safer than Mutton Busting.

I did, however, get some gnarly popcorn shrimp out of a trailer so it was a good day.

    My kids are so getting into mutton busting. I can’t imagine anything funnier! I’m going to introduce the sport to Australia, just so my kids can bust some mutton.
    … I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t be allowed to have kids.
