A Baby's Laugh

We've been listening to Peter Pan in the car.  I don't believe I ever read the story as a kid, and the first I really knew of it was from watching the movie Neverland with Johnny Depp.  

I'm really enjoying the story and am thrilled with the world that J.M. Barrie created.  It amazes me that an adult would be able to think like he did, but I suppose that's the whole point of the story.  

I was tickling Clara tonight, and listening to her laugh, and it reminded me of my favorite line in the book.  It's this:

"You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the very first time, the laugh broke up into a thousand pieces of light, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. So now every time a new baby is born, its first laugh becomes a fairy."
