The Carousel Ride

What did you do last weekend? Attempting to avoid our to-do lists, we headed downtown to walk around and check out a few museums. En route, we passed a carousel (a fancy word for merry-go-round)*, which caught Carly's imagination. Below is a quick overview of how it went:

*Clearly, I've been reading too many Fancy Nancy books.

Carly first catches wind of the music and the kids giggling on the carousel, within seconds we have bought tickets and have our kid seated on the dilapidated machine. Success, right?




Carousel takes off at supersonic speed, Carly grabs on for her life and may have cried but for the fact that her parents were laughing so uncontrollably.





Ride concludes, all is well in the world. Carly vows to herself never again to ask her parents for a ride on a shoddy machine (except her dad's car).
