Ricoh (oh!)

When i heard that Ricoh (the bear sculpture in Jamison) was for kids-- I wondered if kids would actually climb on it. It is a hard and slippery surface after all!

kid + slippery + hard surface= tears and/or bruises

I'm not a parent, but Ricoh screams "oh oh" to me.

Anyways. I walked over to Sip & Kranz this morning and saw a child RIDING (albeit sliding) on Ricoh's back. (His parents nearby and smiling) His little arms were wrapped around Ricoh's head and as he lost his grip and began clawing for traction (where none could be found)...

I couldn't stop myself from whispering "oh oh".

(Yes, I will probably burn in hell.)
