The Lost Boys

Today I found real live lost boys in the forest! I was gathering moss to make a terrarium for my pets slug, Takumi. It was starting to rain and these four kids wandered up from the stream, and asked if I knew how to get to Hawksworth (where I live). They even had booty that they had found in the stream! A cool toddlers' seesaw, fisher price-esque, and also a golf club. Pretty sweet haul for four 8 year olds. So I got to lead this wee band through the wet, dark forest and up into fields. Apparently I had met one before because he knew Tasha's name... They were interested that I had a pet slug, and even suggested where I could find a toad or newt (a vast improvement over a slug, apparently). They even told me how one kid had been sucked into the waterfall and the other kid pulled him out! Way to go kid! Then I walked home in the rain. It was sublime.
