On the Playground

I am playing hopscotch. I am confused. I can't follow the numbers. My mother is not happy. I am on the Merry-Go-Round. I am happy. I giggle. The Merry-Go-Round stops. My mother picks me up. Who am I?

Damn. That's a good answer. If the mother-me part was not included it would fit better than the intended answer.

A Compact disc? <edit> In retrospect, it would seem that the merry-go-round would be doing any giggling. Perhaps I'm thinking about it in the wrong direction?</edit>

Perhaps taking icecoldcelt's suggestion a step further a Juke Box? I did think my first answer was stretching a little bit to fit the familial relations, as different parts of system were being forced to play the same role, but the hopscotch and Merry-Go-Round seemed to fit very well

Jukebox/Turntable is indeed the intended solution for the mother. I am a vinyl record. Credit to Icecoldcelt, though, for a good guess. Three Hands gets bonus points for guessing Roulette. That was an even cooler idea for a riddle.
