Oh, I loved merry go rounds at the playground. When you'd get it going so fast you had to hold on with all your might so you didn't go flying off.
And those animal things that were on a big giant spring and would bounce back and forth and you'd try to get it going so hard that you could touch the ground.
Nowadays, playgrounds are so child safe that they're quite boring.

Really... where's the fun if there's no danger involved?
Teeter-totter games like Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown let me down. And how far could you launch yourself out of the swing.
Hours of torturous fun!
Now it's all plastic (cause some childs parent let them suck on the pressure treated wood for hours on end). No tall slides... no merry-go-rounds... absolutely no teeter-tooters.

I LOVE teeter totters.
And I still launch myself from swings.
A few weeks ago, when I was on that retreat, we had some free time and there were swings and so I got a bunch of the teenagers to swing with me and then we had a contest to see who could swing the highest (I still maintain I won, but the 6'4" kid claims he was. I say legs don't count.) And then we all jumped from the swings. It was very high on the fun-o-meter.
And nobody died.

Serenity - you're making me realize that it's been years since I visited a playground! Eek! I'm a grownup! How did this happen?
I need a merry-go-round, now!
Outta the way, I'm gettin' her spinnin'!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And so here's lonely ol' me with this entirely other concept of swing.

You're forever slicing up the things I say and make them say something entirely different. How your mind works!

CMS, how could this be fun if someone didn't twist what you said?
Anywho, I'm all for spinning and swinging--the strictly playground type--the strictly CHILDREN'S playground type.
*grabs a piece of chocolate cake and runs over to the swings*
Yay! Childhood memories galore.
Wacky fun!

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
(Please let me explain)
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon means that you're grand.
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
Again, I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land.
I could say Bella! Bella!
Even say Wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you, how great you are
I've tried to explain
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon
So kiss me and say you understand.
(I love swing, it's my favourestest thing ever and I can sing till the cows come home and start singing with me!)
