The Mind of a child

I was taking Alison to school today and of course the major part of any of her conversations with us these days is all about Halloween! Her costume choices change from day to day even hour to hour. Today she had in her mind (since the morning so it must be serious) that she would be a mermaid like Tasha and Uniqua (from The Backyardigans). She went on and on about how she would need to practice her dance to be a mermaid. I then asked her what she thought that Daniel should be for Halloween. Without a thought she said, "He should be a butterfly." "A butterfly," I replied. "Yes," she said, "So he can fly and fly."
