“Jesse, let’s catch some stars together!”
“Weee!!!” He bent his tiny knees and leaped like a little frog up into the sky. He had his arms spread open, reaching for the highest star he could.
I grabbed an invisible star and placed it in my mouth. “Yummy!” I exclaimed.
“What is yummy?”
“The stars are so yummy! I can taste…mmmm…chocolate and strawberries. What do you taste?”
He grabbed the wind and clutched his tiny fingers and brought them to his mouth. He opened and closed his mouth, grinded his teeth, made a chewing motion and licked his lips. He paused for one second like a little professor in deep thought. His eyes then lit up and he said, “I taste chocolate too! And strawberries. And ice cream. I love ice cream! I love stars!”
“Let’s grab more stars,” I said excitedly to him.
We ran along the pedestrian pathway and leaped up like little frogs. We leaped and leaped till we reached the moon. There, we sat by the pond covered by lotuses eating ice cream, chocolate and strawberry flavoured stars.
