The narrator recounts two incidents that occurred at fairs. The first involved eating a funnel cake, getting sick on a police officer after going on the swings, and tripping and needing 24 stitches in their head. The second occurred two years later where they passed out for four hours after a ride called the space ship and returned home with an ice pack, watching TV during a thunderstorm when an intruder broke into their home and stole glasses.
