Evening Kitchen Glide

I rolled straight back through the front door after an entire afternoon out in town! The polished hardwood gave way to the glassy white ceramic tiles of the kitchen, and my wheels picked up the sweetest rhythm. Sitting right beside the refrigerator base was an unrolled silicone baking mat left flat on the floor like a bright orange finish line! Naturally, I leaned low, pushed off with both skates, and aimed right for it. The second my wheels met the grippy silicone, whoosh—it was like hitting super-brakes! My arms flew wide to balance, and I slid to a neat, squeaky halt right against a wooden spatula leaning on the low cabinet, giggling breathless in the quiet kitchen.
