Flea Market

The flea market is not a place to get fleas, but a place to shop. In October, the flea market turns into the State Fair. There are some freaks at the flea market and some friends. It opens only on weekends and Black Fridays. Here are the freaks that are there:

Once upon a time, there was a guy who cleaned people's sneakers. When you walked by with sneakers on, he would yell at you "Your sneakers look dirty. Let me clean them." We just ignored him.

Then there's the five-dollar-smurf-lady. She's a lady who sets up at the Virginia flea market, too. She buys old toys like smurfs and sells them for five dollars. Too pricey!

There is a portable restaurant that sells Mexican food. It's logo is a guy not with muscles, but tacos instead!

Also, there is a guy who sells movies. He says "Going out of business. DVDs five dollars," but he has not gone out of business. I wish he would. He's been going out of business for five years.

Another guy sets up and sings, trying to be Elvis or something. Today, he had a kid playing the drums with him.

And today, there was a guy who was selling his things with a friend, I guess. He was mad, because his friend kept sitting on the table. He told him to stop or he would smack him! He said he was going to smack him about ten times while we stood there. There are more freaks I haven't mentioned. It's not always the same freaks one week to another.

My friends sell me books, knick-knacks, drinks, hotdogs, furniture and dvds. I know you will enjoy going to the flea market, when it's not too hot or cold.
