In East Syracuse (why is there no South Syracuse or West Syracuse?) today, I saw a yellow-background traffic warning sign depicting a black seesaw, with a symbolic creature, presumably a child, on each side of the 45-or-so-degree angled plank.
Seesaw, a simple reduplicative word, which can work as a verb, a noun, or an adjective.
I wonder.
Why a seesaw warning sign?
Beware of hurling kids?
Prepare for economic turbulence?
After all, I was en route to the bank.
