When I was in Kindergarten, I used to love to swing. Recess would come up and Mary-ann, Margaret and myself would race to the last three swings. I would be in the middle and they on either side. We would swing!
Not only that, we would sing and swing. Anything at all would come into out heads. Nursery-rhymes, counting songs, little ditties that we would make up, Wizard of Oz, things from Sesame Street, you name it.
The one time I was a little late outside, some other boy took my place between the girls. I stayed right by the swing, and the moment he left it, there I was again.
I even made up a song to sing to the girls:
Beyond the Waterfall
All my dreams become reality
All my wishes come true
For you and me
Yes, I was a romantic even then. From Kindergarten to Third Grade, I was a swinger.
