Every once in awhile the sun would shine at just the right angle through the windows of our shower at 44 Waterloo, hitting the wet glass on the shower door.  This created a tiny little rainbow on the wall.

One day when you lived with us (from November through February this year) you visited us in our bathroom while we were getting ready. I showed you the wall inside the shower and proclaimed it “my rainbow pet.”

although seven months have flown by since we last spoke about it, you haven’t forgotten.  while the two of us were driving around you fired off a series of questions:

are you going to have a rainbow pet at your new house?

when will it come again?

what do rainbow pets do?

they’re cute

is there another one at the beach?

If I had a rainbow pet I would put it in my shower

I would call him butterfly.

Do they disappear from the water?

do they sleep at night when the beach is awake? but the waves are loud when you go to sleep!

you have a very active mind Master Jack, and it never stops working!
