Ice dancing

Me: “Huh? Why?”
Cop, with his hands under my arms: “One! Two! Three!”
Me, getting heavy so he can’t lift me up: “What are you doing?!”
Cop: “You jump and I’ll catch you up over my head. It’ll be fun. One… two…”
Me: “No! I don’t want to!”
Cop, disappointed: “Why not? It’s like ice dancing. What’s the worst thing that can happen?”
Me, nodding toward a 7 foot tall bookshelf made of 95% glass and 5% metal: “I don’t want to fall on that. We’re not trained to do this!”
Cop, setting up to throw: “If anything goes wrong, I’ll throw you toward the bed. One… two.. three!”
Me, up in the air over his head, having made the jump: {screaming sound}
Cop, putting me down: “See? Like ice dancing.”
