I don’t like heights but my friends pressured me onto the Ferris wheel, don’t laugh my knuckles aren’t that white from hanging onto the bar.

My friends convinced me to get on stage at the karaoke stand and apparently I can’t stop staring at you or sing oh no.

You yelled when a pig in the petting zoo nibbled your pant leg and that only made it charge after you and I can’t stop laughing.

I’m not lurking around the photo booths like a creeper, my friends are in one of these booths and I don’t know which one.

One of the rides spun a lot faster than you expected and your shoe fell off and hit me in the head what the heck
