Loved this story! The only thing I thought was odd was that the psychologist actually entertained the possibility that the lions could become real. The father asks: "I don't suppose there's any possibility that they could become real?", to which the shrink replies, "Not that I know of." I would have expected him to say something more like: "Come, now -- you really do need a vacation if you're thinking that."

But I loved this story. So far, I'm going to go with:

Your invention is out of control, Al Gore!

I loved this story as well. I truly enjoyed the moment when you realize what the lions are eating. I would really like to know who thought such a "nursery" was a good idea.

There is a very fine line between fantasy and reality...where is it?
