Ceiling Fan

Pretty much every supper I ever had growing up was eaten beneath these lights...

 

This ceiling fan is - in my opinion - one of the most beautiful things ever. My mom says she doesn't want to get rid of it because "not too many of the new styles have five lamps. Most of them just have the one..."

 

I remember a time when I was about 10 years old... I had discovered the wonder of circular motion and centripetal force. I took three or four pairs of socks and tossed them up onto the fan... then I turned it on full blast.

 

My siblings and I made it into a sort of roulette game. We would select a spot along the wall of the dining room and hope that one of the socks didn't fall on us... because... because... Well, just because.
