one of life's disappointments

ive been meaning to share this story for awhile, but just havent gotten around to it.
a week or two ago, i was walking thru the kitchen and i noticed molly standing on one of the chairs. i didnt think anything of it. i let my kids do really dangerous things. they're not that high.
i watched as she jumped off, and came thru the living room past me, where i heard her say to herself, "i can't fly!! i guess im just too heavy."
she was completely serious and said this to no one in particular.
i really wonder what goes thru their heads sometimes.
