fairy dust

To make a short story long, our adventures yesterday took me and Sam on a trip to Grand Junction for errands, a doctor appointment and visits with friends! He was a great companion - fun to talk to on the drive and happy to be along for the ride.

Because of his pleasant disposition all day, I surprised him while filling up with gas at the Sinclair station: at the counter was a display with these small vials of glitter and considering Sam's love for all things magical and purple in color, I thought he would appreciate his own container of "fairy dust".

Little did I know that it would absolutely be the best thing ever!!!

He made me tie it onto the golden beaded necklace he chose to wear that day and told everyone he met that he had purple fairy dust that would, if opened make him fly!

Oh, he just could not wait to open that vial and take flight. So this morning, with a little bit in his hand he anxiously awaited his magical abilities to set in...

The disappointment was so real when he realized that his feet were still planted firmly on the ground and his fairy dust did not work as hoped.

His solution: try more! (and so the whole bottle was promptly upturned in his hand)

Well, the disappointment about not flying was only temporary - then he discovered that he now had a huge handful of purple glitter all over the place! That seemed to please him enough to go on with his day...

... only now we have an empty vial. Hmmmm, I'm thinking about more glitter just so he can be so proud of carrying his fairy dust around! Now if only I can convince him that the flying part is all in his imagination and that it only works if you believe!
