From the book Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder:
“Two years ago my then five-year old daughter Sara believed fervently in Santa Claus. Last year she knew he was make-believe. But this year her belief in him was more passionate, and more ornately buttressed, than ever before.”
Explain this.
************************************
Or at least that's what I asked my literature class to do. We're talking about the phenomenon of wonder and why it's so hard to remember the last time we felt the sheer pleasure of it: wonder.
Now you: explain (why) this (is).

p.s. Seriously.

Addendum: my daughter believes the act of putting a paper crown on my head makes me a mermaid. I'd like to see you try to prove it doesn't. :)
