Spinny
September 13, 2003I rode a ferris wheel, the bumper cars and one of those you-stand-up-and-they-spin-you-high-in-sky rides at a church fair on Sunday. I was fine — I was ecstatic — until that last one. My stomach leapt against the walls of my body. High up in the evening sky and at the top of my lungs, I shouted, “I’m not 16 anymore.” It took two hours and two glasses of water to get my stomach to settle again.
