Thomas: What do you think it’s like?
Vada: What?
Thomas: Heaven.
Vada: I think… everybody gets their own white horse and all they do is ride them and eat marshmallows all day. And everybody’s best friends with everybody else. When you play sports, there’s no teams, so nobody gets picked last.
Thomas: But what if you’re afraid to ride horses?
Vada: Doesn’t matter ’cause they’re not regular horses. They’ve got wings. And it’s no big deal if you fall ’cause you’ll just land in a cloud.
There is nothing more wonderful than the imagination of a child. The moment when grownups change their role in a child’s life from a horsey to a safety cloud, then it’s certain that they are on the right track!
Here’s the theme from My girl composed by James Newton Howard & some marshmallow pies made by John Lennon!
