"That man that lives berry, berry far away...."

A couple of days ago you asked me if I knew the name of "that man who makes people small, big."
Apparently he is a man that lives "bery, bery far away" and can make small people big and big people small. He has two handles - one small one (to make small people big) and one big one (to make big people small). Each day you elaborate on the story a bit more. Today you told me that he lives very very far away down that street.....all the way down that street. And that you know he speaks but you have never head his voice.

I have tried to figure out where this idea came from but you offer no information there. You asked Grandma what his name was. She said "Henry" and you seemed fine with that name.

You are very interested in "getting big." You desperately want to grow up but as far as I am concerned you are growing up fast enough. My dad used to always tell me " Don't wish away your life, time goes by fast enough on it's own with out you having to wish it away."
Amen to that Grandpa! He is a wise man, my dad. Maybe I should ask Grandpa if he knows the Man that can make small people big.
