Fantasy Land

Earlier today Calder asked, as we merged onto the highway, whether we were going to the water park. Ah, the beloved water park. Apparently, my reminding him that the water park is closed for the season until next May prompted the following conversation I overheard.

Calder: We're going to bash it open. We're going to get on our tricycles and drive there and smash, crash it open.*

Milo: Yeah!

Calder: Wooohooo! I'm going to take my tools and hammer and bash the gate open.

Milo: Yeah and then we'll go swimming. Mommy? Is there still water in the pools?

Me: No. They empty it out for the season.

Calder and Milo (in unison, their hopes and dreams crushed): Oh.

* I think we may have read John Scieszka's "
Smash! Crash!" one too many times.
