Question

Help answer this question below.

My daughter caught a butterfly today and was pondering whether or not she could fly if she took all of the "Magic Dust" off its wings. I had to explain that it didn't work that way. What kind of "Magic" did you believe in when you were a kid?

  • I sat on an awful lot of rugs that I thought resembled flying carpets and tried to get them to fly.

    I clapped when Tinker Bell was dying so she'd live..when Jimmy Stewart heard the bell in "It's a Wonderful Life" I believed Clarence the angel actually got his wings..my favorte genre of literature when I was young was Fairy Tales..I exhausted the library for all the fairy tales from different countries that had been translated into English..I believe in Unicorns as I write this. Magic is everywhere..you just have to be open to it! :) Happy Wednesday! :) ((hugs))

    I was a Christian when I was a kid, but had figured out by the time I was eleven or twelve that dead people don't grow wings and fly around; that bushes don't catch fire and talk; that dead is dead; and that prayers are exactly like what are called "spells" if done by people from other religions.

    I'm glad you told her it didn't work that way! I hope you explained to her that living things, even insects, feel pain and shouldn't be used for this kind of game.

    This is a beautiful question. I believed in fairies and that they lived under mushrooms. I'd never kick a mushroom because I thought they were the homes of tiny magical creatures.

    I just believed that there were such things as fairy godmothers who granted all of our wish... sometimes I still believe... Even as a grown up it is good to believe in a little magic now and then.

    i looked for the horns on horses that would make them be unicorns. i made my sister search for lepricans with me because i saw a rainbow... we lived in a place with a lot of clover. i once planted skittles because SOMEONE (my sister, she is older than me...) told me a rainbow would grow if i did. the rainbow never came. i believed that fairies lived under mushrooms so i checked under every mushroom i saw. oh and i stayed up all night waiting for santa claus once.
