A strange calm enveloped the Children’s Museum; a kind of looming darkness clouded the blaring sun above.  Concrete floors seemed to echo sounds of nothing.  The distant chug of a little toy train, swallowed by the silence.
    Then a bus arrived.  Children in bright orange shirts swarmed the entrance, vibrant smiles splashed color on the walls, exhibits came to life.  
    A dentist chair and toy dinosaur had soon become the site a major surgical procedure, the first ever of its kind.
       An old piano, desperately out of tune, birthed second generation Mozarts.   
    The Castle Theatre became a Broadway stage as Winnie the Pooh and Bob the Builder choreographed an epic battle scene.  
    Scientific principles were explained, fossils unearthed, and the railroad rediscovered.  
    And when it was all said and done, after the children had assumed their positions on Aladdin’s magic carpet, and piled back into Ms. Frizzle’s school bus, it was once again just as it had been.  Another day had come and gone at the ImagineU Children’s Museum, where the ordinary is never anything less than simply extraordinary.
