my uncle put a small dustbin and a large milo tin down in the front porch, and my nephew ariel, aged 2, rode figures of eight around them, calling out to me: "i going round and round! i going round and round!" i thought of fudge and the toddler-bike commercial.

today, ariel stretched his arms out on either side of him and spun round and round. when he finally swung himself to a unsteady stop, he laughed and clapped his hands and called out to me: "you going round and round!"

nephews are delightful!
