Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "déjà vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult.
Eugene Ionesco, Present Past / Past Present
Charly taught Little Wanna how to play Rummy-O on the weekend. It was delightful to see her thinking the rules through, deep in concentration, building confidence, trying a bit of cheating and hoarding the jokers. It was also amusing to see Charly deploy her masterful strategies and relish her win. Do we ever tire of board games and hot chocolate on a blustery Winter's day?
