21/25

It takes work to grow up and still not know that we are hurtling around the sun. When Unnur was five, she was told to stand and spin in a circle to clock the time it took to move three blocks while riding on the earth. That was the day she stopped listening to space lessons. There is a theory that the solstice changes the density of your body, and therefore explains away all the strange things that will happen to you today. Unnur knows what it means for her. Maybe the presents are magically unwrapping themselves and all the goodies are marching into her tummy. Maybe not. It's not up to Unnur on this sacred day.
