Yesterday's conversation with Lyra.
Lyra: Mama, you know Raven (a friend back home) had sparkles on her. And she showed me her sparkles and said it was from her fairy. But I don't think it was a fairy. I think it was just sparkles.
Me: Hmmm. . . you don't think it was her fairy?
L: No, it was just regular sparkles. Because fairies aren't real. Only the Sandman, the Toothfairy, and Santa are real. Just those special fairies are real. Other fairies aren't real.
M: Why don't you think fairies are real?
L: Well, because there aren't any unicorns. . . or . . . or . . . other things that aren't real, so there can't be any fairies.
M: [can't really argue with that logic] Maybe you're right.
L: [backing off a little] Well, if there are fairies, then they only will come out at night. Because they're shy and they don't want you to see them.
M: Yeah, maybe they only come at night.

Wow. The funny things that occupy their minds. Lina just told me this morning that she hopes her new cousin will be born blond so she can dress up like Tinker Bell.
What a sweet mind! My poor Chloe keeps telling me the Devil is not real, I think to reassure herself. I always tell her she is correct.
They are so much fun at this age.
