I think I like imaginary things the best.
Mr. Chocolate, The Threadbare Bear, and how he does his cooking show live from my Easy Bake oven.
Piggles the Flying Piggy Bank and the way he drops the moneybombs on Lego Town.
And my Sky Bike, Cartwheel, and the way we soar above the clouds, higher than the yelling. Singing songs at family pictures. And we fly all the way around the world. And when we get back, Mommy isn’t hurt or crying. And Daddy isn’t at the bar. And the rent is paid.
And we all love each other. Again.
