Can someone explain to me how that little man gets on that big horse? How doe he get his foot in the stirrup? AHHHHH!!! I think I got it. HE doesn’t ride the horse, SHE does. She’s mounting the horse from the window!!!!

Lolly leaned out her window and joked:
“That’s the ugliest ass ever woke.”
“Tain’t no ass, lass, ’tis a horse.”
She rolled her eyes, "Well, of course.
’’’Twas to the horse, not you, that I spoke."
