She felt silly for believing in such a childhood fantasy, and didn’t want to admit that she dreamed of doing this with her own child someday.  Such a sweet image.  Wouldn't it be great to see it one day?  :)

If only the show would go on that long.

Part of that idea and the next chapter, came from blowing dandelions with my (neighbor's) kid. I just loved the way it looked so magical when she did it. And it just sort of really made me remember doing it as a child, and when you really can just imagine it working, and really truely believing in it, and everything. Just that wonderful innocence and hopefullness and magic that always seems to happen with kids.
