But then, above person wonders if it's not about the magical but about special effects and cheap leaps of logic to get to the action in a movie and the magical trivialized because for chrissake, one thing that OUGHT to be scary is suddenly having magic put in your hands (dramatically speaking). You know, the old 'with magic comes responsibility." <br><br>One can wonder all one wants, but maybe it is a Mom thing.

And who the hell has time to come up with a name for their support group? I like it. Thanks. <br><br>Sling: good. But I hope I am a good long time away from that. I'd better be, or they're in bigass trouble. College first, dammit.<br><br>R: Well that's good to know. I'll have to wait for the 2nd child to finish all her college and hopefully have some life first -- the eldest is anti-child with a vengeance, which is fine with me. And I don't want them getting married too young -- been there, rode that train to nowhere. <br><br>DL: Mayhem is right. Yeah, I also was SO ANNOYED with the brother's bossiness and knowitallness toward li'l sis until her obvious skill level shut him up. I couldn't keep my mouth shut about that either. -sigh- But seriously. Kids: people will actually think you know <i>more</i> if you're not constantly trying to prove what a bigshot you are.

While I wasn't quite as moved as you, it did make me ponder if I ever was a kid full of wonder and imaginatation. I was not. sling is right; grandkids came bring it back. The most fun I have had this year was riding the merry-go-round and pretending with Sachi that our horses were real and yelling giddayup. I bought Sachi a snow globe with a carousel horse inside and it played sweet music too.rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300107116527320425noreply@blogger.com
