Review of Mother's Day Tulips by Legerdemain

What a wonderful memory to be recalled by a particular object for the rest of your life. And how wise the memory in its choice of tiny detail to be preserved for later years.

This is an account of an experience of a child's fresh and unexpected view on something we find quite ordinary. It reminds me of my oldest son saying, at the age of about two and watching his first raindrops falling from a cloud, "The sky is crying." I've heard it said by others since then but it was quite an insightful observation for so young a child.

Your son's take on a dying tulip was indeed special in that it demonstrates the human ability to link two seemingly disparate events together in a similarity unnoticed by adults. It certainly took me by surprise, and I had to be reminded of the balloons before seeing that the use of the word "popped" was entirely appropriate. There is something magnificent in the fact that the event created an annual homage to tulips in your mind. Your son will always be avauilable to you as the little boy he once was as a result.

Perhaps we all have similar experiences to serve as a consolation in later life when the kids are grown and gone.
