Feeling drunk

Sometimes I sit on a swing, holding the chains tight in my fingers and let myself lie backwards, hair trailing towards the floor, watching at the swinging world behind me upside down. It reminds me of the kind of drunk only kids are privy to: 'swing drunk', 'spinning-round-on-an-office-chair drunk', 'waltz-er drunk' and my personal favourite 'giggle drunk'. 

I didn't fancy the drunk sensation today so just swung in the more conventional sitting up sense. Swinging is one of the secret thrills children don't want to share with grown ups. Lucky for me I never made that transition!
