Merry-Go-Round | Pad Patter 7.25

[umyesh]

Forty odd years ago I had my kids and a nephew at an amusement park. My kids climbed up on the carousel horses, I buckled my nephew on a horse, then stepped off the ride to watch, the carousel started rotating and it suddenly occurred to me that Davy was only 16 months old. Thankfully he survived the ride … totally forget he was 4 years younger than my youngest.

Oh no! I’m glad Davy survived the ride!

When’s the last time you were on a Merry-Go-Round? Oh, I guess it's been years, ever since my son, now 23 years old, was a pre-teen

Do you go for a specific animal or color or location when you get on? I love an old-fashioned carousel, with prancing horses and fancy carriages

If you designed a Merry-Go-Round, which animals would you include? i'd love to see a Woodland Creatures version, with rabbits and squirrels, and wolves and bears and deer, and maybe even a hedgehog

When you think of a Merry-Go-Round, does a specific place or person or animal come to mind? Central Park Carousel, New York, NY, 2005

I was always afraid my kids would fall off the animals when they were little, especially if they picked one that moved up and down.

This used to be my fear, as well

I've never been to the Central Park Carousel. A woodland creatures version sounds so fun!
