I understand metaphors. As I read it, you seemed to be equating the “wonderment” of an adult to Disneyland. I had initially thought of—and dismissed—the reference to a child.

The reason for this orientation is that I have often seen writings of adults about how enchanted they were by the phony-baloney that is Disneyland and Disney World. It always left me with a great feeling of distaste. Reserve your astonishment for the real things of wonderment in this world. The Grand Canyon comes to mind.

All this to say I am sorry that I attacked you on this issue. I should have gone with my first impression, i.e., you were talking about a child.
