"Round" drabble
Turning Ten
Three people rode a carousel for a whole hour.
(Or maybe two people went out for icecream sundaes... It was hard to tell.)
"Necessary frivolity" she called it.
Her daughter (or maybe daughters) had had a tough year, what with divorce, expulsion, and a new town.
They needed fun - and the birthday party was the perfect opportunity.
(And it wasn't a special occasion - just a normal Wednesday - but they decided, on a whim, to buy fancy icecream and celebrate the fact that it was a Wednesday.)
The sundaes were delicious, and wonderfully extravagant.
(And the carousel went round and round.)
