When I was a little girl, maybe 9 or so, a new water tower was being built close to our house. We would drive by it almost every day as it was going up. My Dad told me that it was going to be a new type of zoo where the animals were going to be kept in areas within the cylinder shaped building and the people would walk around in circles on the different levels to look in at the animals. He went into detail about what animals they were going to have and that on the bottom floor was going to be a huge icecream shop. I was so excited and just couldn't wait until it was finished. Boy was I dissapointed when he finally fessed up...months later. But now that I'm a Mom and my Dad has passed away, I always smile when I pass that silly water tower.
