"Tokmami, we need to help Barbie"
"Why?"
"Because Laverna, the evil fairy, wants to destroy the blush of spring"
The blush of spring??? This 5-year old girl was talking poetic!! Ternganga I......
"Destroy the blush of spring?? What happens if Laverna does that?"
"Then it will be winter all the time, tokmami!!"
"Oh....."
"That's why we have to help Barbie. Then Barbie can stop Laverna"
"Okay"
"Then the mariposa (butterflies) and flowers can come out"
Phewww....it's amazing what 5-year olds know today as compared to when I was 5. I doubt if I even knew about the four seasons then.....much less "the blush of spring"......
