Edited to add this to Perfect Moment Monday...Lori over at Weebles Wobblog says that "Perfect Moment Monday is more about noticing a perfect moment than about creating one. Perfect moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between."
Joey, Gabe, and I had been standing and watching a Percheron mare and her mule foal. Joey and Gabe decided they had to go look at yet one more cow with my mom. I thought the mare and foal were more interesting so I stayed there. A kind of snooty couple were standing a little down the fence from me when Joey and Gabe came back. The kids slid in next to me and the woman said (in a very snotty, cold tone of voice) "Well, excuse you!" Now, the kids did not push by anyone nor did they even have to squeeze in. There was plenty of room. I chose to ignore that snotty biotch because I decided it wasn't worth responding to. I did however take GREAT delight when Gabe loudly exclaimed how he got to see a cow's butt and he got to watch the poop coming out of the cow's butt and then the cow stepped in it and "Why did the cow step in it?" I was desperately trying not to laugh out loud at the look on that biotch's face when Gabe said that. I almost applauded when he then announced that was his favorite part of seeing the animals.
I think Gabe's presence and comment turned that into a truly perfect moment.

How could she be weirded out by such a statement at an animal-laden fair??? LOL. I think they didn't know what they were attending. They are crowded, stinky, and noisy. Good times!
Cute! It'd be so proud of my son if he said that :) BTW, are you talking about the NC State Fair? I noticed the NC blogger link. I'm in Raleigh (and so glad the fair is done and we can get back to our normal traffic pattern!).
LOL, that's great :D I love stories involving your kids, they are absolutely amazing!
Man... that Gabe kid just rocks! ;)
I would have loved to have seen that lady's face!
