Lament

One of her favorite movies is Kiki's Delivery Service, a Miyazaki film. In the movie, Kiki is a young witch who is able to use her broom and fly off on adventures. Ev stands for hours out in our yard hoping to catch just the right wind to ignite her own "flying magic"and lift her to the sky. This is what she looks like after she gives up for the day.

" I just can't figure out when my flying magic will come Mama. How long do you think it will take?"

Don't be too sad for her, she usually gets a conciliatory treat and a big hug and a "maybe tomorrow!"

you are the only person in blogland i've ever heard talk about Kiki. we are HUGE (huge) anime fans in this house (thanks to Dad, who brought that with him into our relationship). i am so in love with Totoro i'd like him tattooed on my ankle.

our E wants her broom too. thankfully she understands they don't always work!
