Before you ask the question of how a County Fair could traumatize a 5 year old, take a look at just two of the events my son had the “opportunity” to experience at the 2010 Boone County Fair.

The children’s petting zoo, what could go wrong?

Even cuter, the baby goat wants to give you a little kiss Jayden!

 Here you can see Jayden’s expression slightly change, he knows something is up.

Even though he didn’t it kinda looks like Jayden is about to or has just cussed when he realized the goat’s intentions were past the point of “kisses”.

Finally, the “I am bailing this petting zoo!”.
Now next to some rides, what could wrong here? He even got to ride with his Mommy, she would never put him put him in a situation where he would just scream for 3 minutes straight, right?
