Stroller, I am.

I am a Stroller, I like to walk.
Someday I will walk right around this world, the greatest ride ever, bouncing along at the top of a six foot tower at a medium pace. Eyeholes open to the world, taking it all in, Strolling.

When we were pregnant, the teachers pitched some cash and clipped it to a picture of a stroller for my lovely wife and I, they said we needed a travel system. What we got was 25 pounds of molded plastic and webbing wrapped around a sticky tray. To say nothing of the animal it contains.

This stroller was the overweight son of an umbrella and a troublesome row of folding chairs, getting it into the car is like gift wrapping a stork. I know some people like that.

Take a moment to think of the type of stroller you are. And remember that I have already declared myself a stroller.

We needed a new stroller, and I bought one on Auction Site 1. It was shipped from England, like my shoes, and this summer we will take it to Moscow. Its name is Maclaren. It folds like a Swiss-army knife, crisp and clean, strong and light.

When it arrived my lovely wife said, "Meh."

We strapped the badger in and took it to the park, through the park, through a ditch, over grass and the whole time it handled like a dream, a real nice ride, this red Maclaren, it's like a range rover wearing doc martens.

My wife said the sunshade was small.

We Strolled to the brewer and potters house to see their baby who is the same age. We like the brewer and the potter a lot they are good friends. They pour us homebrews in hand built mugs.

They also bought a new stroller, Ah what a coincidence lets see it!

And behold, the Kombi!
…And my lovely wife falls over dead in love as the brewer Parades across the lawn miming a game show model. The Kombi, by Kid Kraft Korp., it leans back all the way! It has a snack tray! The sunshade is Huge and it comes with a Diaper bag!

Thank you dear friends of ours, for the lovely time, we enjoyed the brew and crew but we got to bounce. They drove us home because it was suddenly dark and cold. I would have liked to walk. Walking is great.

I am a Stroller.
