I'll admit it. Until I read this list Jes posted, and then decided to do everything on it, I had no desire to swing at the park. None. I never really liked swings as a kid. I was more the slide type. But it was on the list, so I did it. And it was a little fun. I couldn't swing for a long time-- my stomach felt weird with the swing motion, but it was fun.
Mostly fun because the kids that were playing in the park had no idea why D and I decided to swing on the swings. As soon as we got on them, out of nowhere, the park kids came over and wanted the swings.
I told them, "too bad." And swung until I felt I was done. Which happened to be for like 2 more minutes.
And as soon as we got off of them, the kids didn't want them anymore.
There's probably a metaphor for life in that story. Maybe.
For now I will leave you with this last pic of me swinging; not breaking anything and teasing some neighbourhood kids:
