Now that I think about it, Charlie Brown reminds me of Ralphie, in “A Christmas Story”here, in a way, in terms of someone who likes to have fantasies of “pipe dreams,” meaning personal wishes of yours, that, although you REALLY do want them to come true, deep down inside, you know the chances are practically ZILCH, that they will. I’m referring to the scene in “A Christmas Story,” where Ralphie, upon turning in his Christmas theme on what he wants for Xmas, has a fantasy of his teacher being SO TICKLED PINK over him wanting a Red Ryder BB gun, that she decides to give him an “A PLUS, PLUS, PLUS…” and the whole class is proud of him as well. We’re all a little that way, at some time or another, I guess.
