Today Mom and I took the girls to see Wall-E. This was the first trip to the movie theaters for our girls. They sat very attentively while consuming large amounts of Kettle Corn. When the movie was over I asked Moriah about her favorite part. She said she especially liked when the giraffe told the hippo, Gloria, that he loved her. Those of you that have seen Wall-E know that there is neither a giraffe or a hippo in the film. She was referring to the preview for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Upon leaving the theater, Moriah cupped her hands under a small light on the wall leading up the aisle and said, "Look Mommy, it is a golden drop of sun." Me, being very locked into my educating answers, responded, "Moriah, it is a light." She in turn said,"I know Mommy, but it looks like a golden drop of sun and so I am pretending."
Oh, to be a child again and live with that kind of wonder. Where and when did I loose my imagination to get lost in moments such as this?
Seeing through the eyes of a child -"A golden drop of sun."
What I saw - "Moriah, it is a light."
