"i do believe in fairies, i do, i do"

"Once upon a time there was a boy named Peter Pan, who decided not to grow up..." i wish i had this option.  i would love to have the imagination i had as a child forever.  children have the greatest imagination.  i remember getting in boxes in the garage, back when i was young and small enough to fit in them, and pretending they were any and everything.  ships, cars, airplanes, hot air balloons.  you name it. i could imagine a plain, brown cardboard was anything.  there was no limit.  my sister and i could play with these boxes for hours and never grow bored. if you put a cardboard box in front of me know i would probably just see what i could pack up in it to clear up some space in my room.  i would have an extremely hard time seeing anything but a box.  i would love to know where our childhood imagination goes.  do we hit a certain age and it just disappears? or is it something that just matures with the rest of us and is always within us?  all i know is, i would love to have my many modes of transportation back.
