Whatever floats your boat

Personally, as a child, I never understood why other children would ride on the benches of the carousel. I mean, what FUN is it to just sit still. It was crying shame to miss the up and down bit too.

Actually, I *still* feel that way. Which is why, I always hop on a horse WITH my babies. (I ALSO don't understand how parents can just stand NEXT to the horse with their arms around there children. Just don't seem to have ANY fun, I tell ya.)

Apparently, I am outnumbered. Because all the little children happily clamoured aboard the no-fun, stationary, boring old bench.

I guess I shouldn't be too curious. They did ride the horses five or six times too.

That's what happens when a carousel offers rides for free.

The curious thing, then, would be...WHY do they offer carousel rides for free but charge $2.00 for a lollipop????
