Wednesday August 15th 2012, 10:45 pmBoth having wit and genuinely interesting personalities, full of that endless energy that comes with childhood, each having broad grins, dark hair, and eyes that show an inner intelligence seemingly well beyond their years. Not surprising considering our good friends are their thoughtfully smart parents. After batting around a red balloon for ten minutes with the girls upon our arrival to their house, we settled down with our friends and those two charming daughters. Zarah, being the oldest, interested in telling stories about their numerous black and white cats and the funny things they do, just too cute. And the younger, Xandra, a little more fidgety and bouncy, decides its time to be creative, pulling out a small unassuming little pink heart shaped piece of paper containing a wonderfully bizarre idea. Little penciled squiggles of what appears to be oddly shaped interlocking ovals with small stubby appendages of something that apparently stands on four legs. On one side, instead of an oval, its more accurately a round circle giving the impression of where a head would be. Rising off the creature’s long back are what at first looks like two flags, each waving in a different direction. One has a black circle and the other a larger black circle. When asked if these were indeed flags, the spry little rambunctious girl says giddily with her smiling round face, and in a manner suggesting we should understand this already, that “No, they’re both guns. One shoots giant rockets and the other shoots more guns!” She laughingly and affectionately refers to it all as a “Steampunk Mouse”. Zarah quickly adding that the gun that shoots guns, that those guns in turn shoot more guns with each new gun smaller than the last. There is adoringly twisted little genius minds at work in their heads for certain. How can you not love that spark of joyful unfiltered creation.
