What are THESE doing in Chicago??!!!

Motor Mouth wants a horse. He has been asking for a horse for about a year. I'm sure Grandpa Flyboy would have bought Motor Mouth a horse by now, but where they live was annexed into city limits. Motor Mouth kept asking us to get a horse, so we told him we couldn't have one in our backyard because we live in the city (in Tulsa). We were thrilled to move to Chicago so Motor Mouth couldn't ask for a horse anymore.

So, J and I are driving around in DOWNTOWN Chicago. HORSES!! In Chicago city proper! Do you see the buildings in the background? Horses, in the city! How are we supposed to tell Motor Mouth he can't have a horse in the city?

Just so you know, these horses are the ones used to pull carriages of tourists, and couples in love, through the city.
