emily witnesses pottermania.
Pottermania: noun. (pot.er. - man.e.a.) Fanaticism surrounding fictional characters and themes contained within a series of books written by J.K. Rowling, namely "Harry Potter".

After spending two hours in a line-up, I was a firsthand witness to the last launch of a harry potter book. Not much happened, but I was frequently stepped on by children in costume. Once, I had a suspicious liquid splashed on me as one child ran past to go to the bathroom. And a man dressed as Dumbledore gave me candy. All in all, it was a typical Friday night in Kamloops.

Silly things my 3-year-old said that I’m certain the rest of the world would find sweet and cute:
Me: Did you like having our silly time today? Did you like our walk?
Him: I saw…walky…and…(starts giggling).
Me: You saw a walky?
Him: I will crush you.
Me: (Silence).
Him: Be certain that I am your undoing. I am everything. There were three things in my beginning: my interrupted biological sleep, a birth, and the end to a warm darkness and silence. And now I am here with you. And a reckoning is coming, that’s all I’m saying.
