Jonah’s having a “Neverland” party. It was going to be a “pirate” party until we learned that his friend Jude would be having a pirate party too right around the same time. It was hard to talk Jonah out of the “pirate” theme — until we hit upon Neverland, which has flying, Indians, mermaids, a crocodile, and pirates!
It helps that we recently read Peter and the Starcatchers.

Marillion are one of my favorite bands ever, and this is a wonderful song. It’s about Peter Pan having grown up and later in life realizing how much he loved Wendy and never told her.
Wendy
Darling
In the kitchen
With your dreams
Will you fly
again
Take to the sky
again
Undo the hooks
Once and for all
Banish the tic tic tic tok tok tok
Again
Will you be
Yourself for me
Cause I can take it
I can stand
Anything
When you’re with me
I can stand it
I can stand
But when you’re gone
I never land
In Neverland
