At what age do people lose their sense of life being magical?
I stayed in a hotel last night with my family, and my toddler was terrified of getting on the elevator. Her siblings immediately stepped in, transforming the elevator into a spaceship complete with lights and sound effects. Her fear vanished, replaced with laughter and awe, as she stepped aboard with confidence. It happened so naturally for them. This was not a mere game of pretend - the elevator WAS a spaceship.
Children are a blessing. If anything, they help prevent adults from becoming too serious, boring, and cynical.
