Someone just burst Tara's proverbial bubble yesterday.
"Mummy," she said, "Is it true that there is no real Mickey Mouse in Disneyland and some person is inside him?"
I looked at her, not knowing what to say in that instant. I searched every corner of my brain frantically and started, "Well...", and Tara smiled sadly and said, "Never mind Mummy."
There is more to come - Santa, Easter bunny, Tooth fairy. I just hope all of those bubbles burst at the right time, not any sooner. My Tara is a wise girl but her Mummy is not ready yet .

ReplyDeleteThank you..yes it should be up to parents to tell our children things, but school is a sobering place in so many ways. Like Tara says, "Nevermind.."
