Are we taking a trip down memory lane? Are we visiting our musical past? Do you remember when you were a child (or a teenager) and Mr. Roboto was the greatest song ever?
I watch Dulcie play with the neighborhood kids and remember how fun it was to pretend. To be a princess or a fairy or a warrior. Why doesn’t that seem fun anymore? When is the age when you go from wanting to be something else (in other worlds) to wanting to be grown-up? It’s going to be sad when Dulcie gets there.
Right now she is all about dragons–thanks to Hiccup and Toothless. I think it is kind of cool that my girl wants nothing to do with Barbies and everything to do with pocket monsters and flying fire breathing creatures. Remember how much you ached for it all to be true? For there really to be fairies and dragons and witches and knights? To discover trolls and elves? Childhood is kind of amazing. And heartbreaking.
