enchanted evening

while tucked in bed, i leaned over to kiss angel girl good night. then i whispered in her tiny ear that it's a magical night. in a soft voice she asked why. stroking her hair, i whispered back, coz you are going to sleep a 5-year-old and will wake up a 6-year-old. her sleepy eyes widened and sparkled at the thot. she smiled then reached out to pull me in for a hug.

NB : lately we have been reading books abt enchanted fairies and their magic and she has been in wishful awe, playing with her own imaginary magic. but this time, the magic is "real".
