*** begin quote ***
“There has to be a pony in here somewhere!”
*** end quote ***
There are many references to this “pony” or that “pony” on the web. Even on some prestigious sites. But, no one has the honest to repeat the whole story.
The original has an absurdly honest ring to it.
We know know parent would do such a thing. We know that children always see things with “pristine glasses”. We know know child no matter how naive would NOT think of playing in that, nor that there was a good surprise under all of it.
But this is a this a parable, a legend, a fable, a … a … morality play in a few sentences.
If we always see the glass as half-full, then we’ll be better off.
Will we?
So is it “I’ll believe it when I see it” or “I’ll see it when I believe it”?
IBIWISI or ISIWIBI
An new shorthand for a meme?
