Stinkerbell

Four year old Laura was very pleased with herself. She was dressed in her green "Tinkerbell" outfit for Hallowe'en and she had a pouch of gold dust and green slippers. She had carefully practiced "You can fly, You can fly if you have good thoughts." Her proud Mom walked her to the door of her preschool classroom and the teachers and parents stopped to look at the engaging child with the bangs and saucer eyes. "Do it" her Mom prodded and stood proudly, waiting. "She's been practicing" Mom said to the teachers who stood, all agog. On cue, Laura leapt across the room, sprinkling her imaginary gold dust and loudly called out, in her shrill little voice "You can fly, you can fly if you make good farts."
