The Idea

Yali, leaving preschool that morning, from his car seat…

“Mama! I have an idea!”

“What’s your idea, Yali?”

“I want hot dog! Cheese stick! Grapes! Shaun the Sheep movie!”

The ideal afternoon for any aspiring young man.

Puck had thoughts that evening. He gets into a very contemplative mood near his bedtime.

“Mom, if I had super powers, these are the ones I would choose. One, I’d be able to fly. Two, I’d have no fall damage if I fell. Three… I’d be able to record anything I saw, and play back it whenever I wanted to. And four, I would be able to lift anything in the universe. If I just said ‘on’ or ‘off’ inside my head.”
