My little grandson and I watched dr. Dolittle 3 the other day. Tyson was very disturbed  when he heard the horse talking to the little girl.

 ”Horsies don’t talk Oma” he proclaimed very loudly!

How do you explain to a little two year old why these animals talk and that it is just a story, I thought! My precious little grandson then told me “Let me tell you my story about my purple horse.” 

What, thought, where did that come from. Okay little one tell me about the purple horse.

“I have a purple horse and it talks too,” he said. “I ride the horse everyday all the way up to the sky and then come back to see my mommy” he almost whispered in awe of his own imagination.

“Can I ride on your purple  horse too,” I asked.

“Nooooooo Oma, noooo” he answered loudly! You have your own blue horse and you need to ride that one!”

 ”Where are we going Tyson when we ride our horses I asked?”

“We will ride to McDonald’s,” he said.

“To MCDonalds, what will we do there?” I laughed.

 ”Oma, don’t you know? We will get purple and blue chicken nuggets for the horses there! he said very annoyed by my slow understanding.

“Ahhhhh, I should have know that, okay I will get the saddle and we will go on a wonderful trip to McDonald’s on our purple and blue horses, I cannot wait.” I smiled. 

We saddled our horses, I had a rainbow sparkly one and Tyson a black one and then we first visited the stars, the moon and ohhhhh yeahhh we saw a couple of adorable angels on the way around some fluffy clouds. Once we got tired we swooped back down to earth and rode through the drive-thru at McDonalds. We created quite a ruckus….yes we did, when the people saw our beautiful, colorful horses and we got our purple and blue nuggets and feed them to our horses.

Then it was time to come back to the place where we began our imaginary journey, sitting in the bed and watching Dr. Doolittle 3.

 ”Oma,” whispered Tyson,

 ”Yes sweetheart,” was my reply…………..

“horses can’t talk Oma and dogies can’t either,” his voice sounded sleepy and next he drifted of to sleep.

 I wonder if he sees red dogs and yellow kittens in his dream…..sweet dream
