One . . . Two . . . Three . . .
Wheeeee! As I was walking up to Union Square yesterday, thoroughly enjoying a healthy dose of early springtime, I spotted two people with a little girl between them, around 2 or 3 years old. They counted out loud, "one, two, three," and then with a "wheee" lifted her up off the ground by her hands.
