Memories of a 7-year old;

"Okay you pretend to be ducky,

and I'll pretend to be be peetree!

and, and you gotta hop and I can fly, okay?"

I dictated enthusiastically.

"Yeaahh!" she replied.

"Swoooosh, follow me, swooosh" I shouted with spread wings,

running fast down a hill.

"Owww!!" She cried behind me.

Turning I saw her lying at the bottom of the hill.

"Oh no, you've got a cut!

Lets stop pretending now, I'll go get a grown-up"

and I ran off.
