-A child’s imagination is a kaleidoscope
of a million combinations. Each shift
in light,
varying in the density of breath, as
well as the tilt
of the head or the axis of the
earth-transforms everything.
And so each child goes about spouting
off dozens
of incongruous truths throughout their
day. Usually,
they come to accept that it is the
imagination at play.
So she was more than pleasantly
surprised, when
she looked at her father and said
“you’re small”
and he shrank.
