J: First I'd like to be the mightiest of all the sorcerers. But a nice one.
T Fox: Okay.

I think it's a nice thing to wish for. Quirky, but sweet.
Ahh bless his imagination! I wish i could be a kid again!
mimi, you are, you are.
Now I know why I have to keep losing weight; I would be a wide-screen projector.
Thank you all for your comments :)

Your kids are marvellous.
