Chikyuugi

He says, “Charles-sensei, I want you to spin me.”

He’s hanging on the side of one of those spinning contraptions you see in playgrounds. In Japan, they’re called chikyuugi, and are large, spherical. His face is very, very serious. For a seven-year-old.

“I want you to spin me. I want you to spin, spin like you want to send me flying.”
