I care about harmless. I also care about magic. I lie to kids because when we believe in the magic it's as good as real. So I live in a world where Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy can both visit in the night and found pennies bring good luck and falling stars and dandelions grant wishes and spinning dizzy on the lawn isn't a fool waste of time. And maybe the kids will grow up to be sensible folk who don't try to flush toilets, or draw royal flushes, by focusing and hoping. But maybe they'll grow up to spread a little magic with a wink and smile. I like the latter myself. I don’t care as much about cute. I care about harmless. I also care about magic.
