Dragonflies that light up the moon = Fireflies

A few nights ago I was walking to the park to find a very particular bench, prepping myself for a conversation that I wasn’t sure I had the words for.

I get within mere feet of the location and a little boy, (the grandson of the old lady with an even older beagle) is playing in the side yard with a bucket. He sees me and giggles. The fireflies were out, everywhere, and I half thought he was using the bucket to capture the glowing orbs.

He runs to become parallel with me, and slows down to match my stride. He puts the bucket on his head and I smile at him.

Eagerly, loudly, he says, “Hey! Hey! Look at me! I’m a bucket head!”
I laugh softly and say, “Oh? How’s that working out?”
He responds with a big exhale and removes the bucket from his little head.
I’m almost to the corner of his yard and he exclaims wildly,
“Look at all these dragonflies! They are lighting up the moon!”

I giggled until I found the waiting bench.
