Part 7
My brain was in turmoil, do I want it to land on pink or blue, picnic or fair which one was better. I had no idea, luckily the choice wasn't mine. Soon the arrow slowed down and stopped, the arrow had landed on the blue side. This meant that we would be going to the fair.
"Yayyyy we're going to the fair" said Mum in an overly excited voice "I was hoping for that one"
I was hoping the ground would swallow me up but I don't think that was an option on the board.
"What's going on in here" said Dad coming into the kitchen to see what all the fuss is about.
"We just decided to go to the fair" said Mum still in an excited voice "I just know that the Dolly's are super excited"
That was when Dad first noticed the extra Dolly Wolly in the room.
"My my my" Dad said shaking his head" These Dolly Wollys are multiplying"
"Don't worry about Amy Dad" said Lauren while patting Amy on the head "Mark looked like he was having so much fun, that Amy wanted to be a Dolly too"
"Is that right" said Dad while looking at Amy struggling in her high chair at Lauren's obvious lie "Well if that's what Amy wants"
I doubted very much that is what Amy wanted but it's not like she could voice her opinion.
"Could you be a dear" said Mum now talking to Dad "And take the Dolly Wollys to the car, Lauren and I will be out in a moment"
I wish that I would be out in a moment, well you know a moment that stretched till the end of time. So that way I wouldn't have to go anywhere, but having said that it was nice to get that embarrassing bib off. Dad was easily strong enough to not only pick me up but also Amy at the same time . He simply put us both over each shoulder and then carried us off to the car. This made me very red faced because the last time I was carried by Dad I must of been 5 years old, but on the flip side at least they didn't make crawl to the car. Dad first put Amy in the car next to a window seat while I was put into the middle seat, Dad then pulled the seat belts over us and buckled them tightly.
"Don't worry' said Dad looking at both of us "I'm sure once the girls have had their fun they'll let you go"
One can only hope but how long would that be, Lauren and Mum were having an awful lot of fun and they didn't seem like that would end anytime soon. Soon Lauren and Mum finally emerged from the house carrying a few things and then loading them in the trunk. Lauren then got into the seat next to me while Mum got into the front with Dad and then we were off to the fair.
For the entire ride over Lauren was mercilessly pulling my spirally curly hair and then watching it spring back into place. But if she wasn't doing that then she was flicking my dress and petticoats up to reveal my overly diapered bottom. I thought Amy had the better deal of our sitting arrangement, but she too had her own problems especially when we stopped at some traffic lights and the people in the car next to ours would all stare at the Dolly Wolly sitting in our car. Well just when I thought I could stand no more and Amy's cheeks couldn't get any redder we arrived at the local fair.
"Here we are Dollys" said Mum stepping out of the car "I hope you're ready to have some fun"
I was about ready to die from embarrassment instead of having fun but as usual there was nothing I could do to stop them. Mum and Lauren then went to get something out of the back and it wasn't long before I found out what. Mum then came and unbuckled me while Lauren was doing the same to Amy. I was lifted out of the car and to my total dismay waiting for me was the cursed baby stroller from the day before, still with all it's frills and lace.
"Did Dolly Wolly miss her stroller" said Mum as she buckled me into the humiliating device.
I was then wheeled around to the other side of the car just in time to see Amy being buckled into her own baby stroller.
"Awww they just look too cute" said Mum as she lined me up next to Amy.
I didn't know what I looked like really, but by looking at Amy I could tell that I must of looked like a baby doll in a stroller because that's what she looked like. Before I could ponder on my appearance for too long Mum started pushing me into the fair ground while Lauren was pushing Amy. I thought we would stick out like well a doll in a baby stroller really, but to my surprise there where other Dolly Wollys being pushed around in their strollers. Well it was a current craze after all.
"Oh my" said Mum taking in all the other Dolly Wollys "I hope we don't get you mixed up with the others and then accidentally come home with the wrong one"
God I hope not I thought I really didn't want to become the property of some other person. Mum and Lauren then proceeded to push us around the fair with Dad following close behind taking in all the sights. Mum and Lauren would stop at just about every single booth playing whatever game was available. They eventually won a couple of stuffed teddy bears one of them pink and one of them blue, you can guess who got which. We continued on our endless cycle around the fair when we came across a rather large group of people they were all gathered around a stage and listening to some announcer guy.
"Come one come all" the announcer cried "Do you have what it takes to win the hottest game in town"
"That's right it's the Dolly Wolly dress up game" he said revealing the name of the game behind a curtain "The game couldn't be more simple just take the Dolly Wolly you have with you and then dress her up in one of the outfits, prizes will go to the winner"
Suddenly there was a very heavy sense of dread in the air and judging by how much Mum's and Lauren's eyes lit up, I feared the dread was aimed at me and Amy.
