Melissa the Ragamuffin held her beloved niece close in her arms. “Time to go to bed, Peanut,” she said softly. Peanut frowned. “Don’t want to go to bed,” she informed her aunt.
Melissa laughed. “But if you don’t go to bed,” she told her niece, “you’ll never get your beauty sleep.” “Don’t want to be beautiful,” insisted Peanut. Melissa ruffled her niece’s hair and asked, “What do you want?”
Peanut’s tiny forehead wrinkled. She looked around her room, and pointed to a globe on a shelf. “Want ball!” she exclaimed. Melissa smiled and said, “That’s not a ball, sweetheart, that’s a globe.”
Peanut looked puzzled. “Globe?” she asked. Melissa nodded. “It’s like a picture of the world.” Peanut looked triumphant. Proudly, she announced, “Want world!”
Oh, sweetie, don’t we all!

Melissa, this is an awesome tale! But usually isn’t that globe revolving around you!

On Melissa’s behalf, I can definitely say that her globe revolves around Peanut and her siblings, no question!

Cute anecdote 🙂 It also serves as a reminder of what we once all dreamt of and how the little things in life have pilled up so high, we forget there is an entire WORLD out there for us to wonder.

I pride myself on my titles! And I think we all feel like Peanut, we just stop admitting it. Though what I would do with the world if I had it, I’m not sure. Call the repairman?
