If they were venomous biting insects, would we enjoy watching the butterflies flutter by as much as we do now, knowing they are harmless?

My youngest granddaughter, Tiger Lily, is six. Like me, she is an Aspie. At her age, it just adds to her charm. Her favorite word at present is Apatosaurus, because she recently saw the skeleton of one on a school field trip.

Forge ahead then, going nowhere, very quickly. Why wait? Accelerate.
Where was it I was going? And what was it I was looking for? Ah, yes, I was looking for the luggage. It’s gone ahead.
