An idea

[willow_25]

My father sent me a forward yesterday which included the following line:

When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. 

My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)

I dare someone to write this fic.

I'll have to pass.

(Get it? Never mind.) :-)

For some reason, I was reading this forward, of all these silly things kids had said, and I saw the name William, and I thought 'Oh, hey, that sounds like something Spike would have said when he was a kid. Or, Spike's son.' It was basically all downhill from there in my brain. Maybe I'll just have to write it myself.

Get writing!

I might have to start farming my fanfic ideas out; I have way too many, and Emily's starting to threaten me whenever I come up with a new one.
