Go'round

Me and my sisters took a road trip to Canada this summer. The best part of the trip? Finding a real, authentic Merry-Go-Round in Minnesota. These were the sweetest part of a playground when I was a kid, but they're virtually impossible to find now. People decided that encouraging children to sit on a piece of hot, rusty metal while it spun around wasn't a good idea. Of course, it's not a good idea – that's the point! We had to learn early on that it's a dangerous world out there, and if you couldn't handle the merry-go-round you should just go home.
