The two-year-old’s drug of choice.
When you were a kid, did you ever spin around and make yourself really dizzy? Chances are, you did. It’s a silly thing to do, getting yourself so unbalanced that you can’t even walk a straight line. Spin long enough and you won’t even be able to stand up.I remember doing this as a kid, and never really gave it much thought since getting older. Until I saw some of my students doing the exact same thing. They’d spin around for as long as they could manage, then try to walk. More often than not, they’d end up on the floor, giggling at their own silliness. Kinda like being drunk, huh?
That’s when it hit me – this is the toddler’s drug.
Wooziness? Check.
Readily available? Check.
Silly behavior you and your friends can laugh at? Check.
Addictive? Check.
See?!? It is a drug.
And one that I think more adults should partake in.
Think about it. You get all the benefits of drinking, without the bad side effects. Ever heard of a dizziness hangover? Me either. Ever hear of somebody getting dizzy and beating their spouse? I kinda doubt it. Has anybody ever been arrested for DWD? Nope. Okay, so the effects don’t last as long as with other drugs, but that’s a good thing. No lingering effects. No withdrawl symptoms. I think bars should have a dizziness area. Maybe like one of those cash-grab booths that used to be popular. Pad the thing, put a spinning floor in it, and add some sort of support to keep you from banging into the walls. It’d be perfect for designated drivers who want a quick buzz, but still want to get a bit of a kick in their evening. Of course, those who’ve been drinking alcohol would not be permitted to use the Dizzy Booth.
Not without a cleaning deposit anyways.
