Taking a poll

Posted on November 14, 2024 by Ella

Grubb says “hey look, another carousel”

“You’re kidding, right?”

No, he wasn’t. I say NO. What do you say?

This is NOT a carousel! Right?

And how about this? Reindeer going on a track, like a train?

Grubb says yes, I say no.

I say NOT a carousel

    I would call it a Merry Go Round but maybe that is the same as a Carousel?
    Not sure what the Reindeer would be called?

    I agree with Chinle “merry go round.” We had them on our playgrounds as children.

    Turns out I’m right and I’m wrong. According to some, a carousel has seats of some kind (commonly horses) and revolves around a fixed center. Merry go round is also a carousel but there is a second definition of merry go around…that being the children’s playground variety. Who knew?
