Mom and I have a Disney fear.
Let me back up to explain.
We went and saw the Easter bunny awhile back.
K, you handled it like a champ.
But H, you look at the guy in the Easter bunny suit with more and more suspicion each time we go.
I suppose it’s a natural part of growing up.
This time, you thought we were going to see an actual “bunny” – but before we left, mom clarified it was a guy in a suit.
There was excitement in the anticipation of going, but after we got there, we could see the wheels turning in your head.
I felt like I could nearly read your mind:
“That Easter bunny looks like a poorly paid guy with a rabbit head on, awkwardly wearing a cheap suit.”
At one point you even said, “He looks kind of wierd.”
So, the point is this.
We are going to Disney World in October and are a little afraid that most of the magic will be gone.
H, Disneyland captivated you when you were 3.
And I know we will all have fun no matter what.
But it feels like you are a heartbeat away from simply shrugging at being in a commercialized theme park.
And heaven forbid something is said aloud.
K will be like:
“Oh, yeah. I see it. I knew something was off.”
Mom would have a heart attack.
Ha.
You girls make me laugh every day.
I love you.
