she was asleep five minutes later

You know, after three hours of sweet, close-to-unchaperoned freedom, pluck-a-duck and plinko and sucker pull and the cake walk and having a hot dog and your own piece of chocolate pie *and* a root beer and guessing how many pieces of bubble gum are in a jar and bidding on an auction and getting two tattoos and playing Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution and scoring a Dora movie (although your mother The Great Big Meanie wouldn't let you bring home all six that were there) and eating a luridly pink sugar covered bunny cookie and winning a stuffed pink duck and talking to lots of people and seeing friends and running around and around joyfully weaving through a sea of grown-up legs? Sometimes a girl just has to come home, pull on her cuddly tiger costume, and veg out.
With her new friend the duck, of course.
