on the generation gap

Just an overnight trip for a 5 year old's family Birthday Party.

~how a bubble can feel like a kiss on the lips

~trying to eat a bubble when it lands on the table

~using the wand in a sweeping motion though the air

and finally

then is sucked back in and is forever gone


Now the possibilites of this simple childhood activity inspired me to
