I’m beginning to wonder about Little Dill Y. He’s been 7 years of age for the last 4 years and I’m beginning to wonder if he exists in the real world or if he exists in the written word, merely as a character I made up. He’s recently become fascinated with pupil dilation which is unusual for both real and imaginary 7 and 11-year-olds. I never thought it would be so hard to find a decent book on the subject but as long as you keep your eyes open, these things have a habit of jumping out at you:
My kids were always wide-eyed when reading Richard Scarry’s books!
That doesn’t surprise me one little bit!
You either have one of the world’s great imaginations or one of the world’s most interesting families — or both.
This blur, this indistinct cloud between reality and imagination is becoming far to complicated for me. I know that I go to work in the morn and come home far too late in the evening. I also know that when I go to the shops to buy something, they refuse to accept my money and instead, listen to me tell stories!
My, what big eyes they have! What have they been smoking? So, is Little D Y born in a leap year that he doesn’t age like the rest of us or is he real at all? Fun one Bill!
He’s real in the sense that he goes to school but not real in the sense that he actually understands magnets!
