"I said NO PONY!"

This is the pony Iris did NOT ride at today's St Anthony Park Festival. I might point out it was her idea to ride it. We stood in a long line in the rain, paid our $5 admission and headed toward the pony only to have her scream "NO PONY!" So we headed toward the exit and as soon as we were out of the pony ring she yelled "I want to ride the pony!" So we had a little talk and she insisted she wanted to ride the pony. We stood in line again, still in the rain, paid our $5 admission and headed toward the pony. She again protested and clung to me for dear life. So once again we headed to the exit. Luckily you get your money back if your child refuses the ride. After we walked away, Iris repeated "I said NO PONY!" a number of times.
