Do angels fly?

Luke's question tonight after I sang "Close to You" for a lullaby in 
Brian & Barbara's guest bed in Redding.

On the day that you were born
the angels got together 
And decided they would make a dream come true....

"Yes," I said. What other answer to give?

"Okay," he said, business-like and satisfied, filing that info away. Then this: "Good night, Mommy. Have sweet dreams." And almost instantly sleeping.

"Boyhood." All of it. But I'm thinking of when Mason, before going to sleep, verifies with his dad that there is no real magic in the world, no actual elves "at this moment."


Luke and Halina at Cull Canyon last week, where halina put all her swim lesson pieces together for the first time.
