whimsy

"Mom, is Hades real?" Libby questioned after rewatching Disney's Hercules for the uphundredth time.

"No, Hades isn't real," I answered.

"Did he use to be real?"

"No, but a long time ago, people thought he was real."

"But pilgrims were real, right?" she asked.

"Pilgrims were absolutely real."  I responded.

"Yeah, I thought they were real.  They all died out in the '80's I think." she replied as she walked away.
