At last weekend's carnival, the longest line was at the cotton candy booth. I would have expected longer lines for some of the rides.
Cotton candy isn't just about eating. Watching strands of sugar expand on a stick fascinates children. For them, it's oh so cool when they're handed that blob of candy.
As time marches on, our culture changes for better and for worse. Life seems more complex. But traveling carnivals don't change all that much. Taking children to a carnival, and buying them cotton candy, links us to our pasts when lives were simpler.
Perhaps nostalgia made that line longer.
