yesterday I took Kasen to see the movie "Cars 2"

& naturally, he loved it.

he was given a balloon after the movie

& you might as well had given him a brand new fluffy puppy.

when i dropped him off at his dad's house,

he accidentally let go of his balloon

as he was getting out of my car.

immediately sensing his crushed heart,

i told him that when a balloon floats into the sky

you're supposed to make a wish

& it will come true.

excited, he closed his eyes tight & made a wish.

thinking i had patched over the tragedy,

he spoke up when the balloon was but a speck in the sky.

"ok, can i tell you my wish now?"

"sure buddy. we can barely see the balloon,

so it's safe to tell us what you wished for."

"well, i wished that my balloon would come back."

kids are so cute.
