The wishing well
Its sometimes quite amusing to know what kids wish for. We were going to a trip to a lake. While on the way my daughter wanted a coin. Daughter- "Mom I want a coin." Me- "Why?" Daughter- "I want to make a wish and throw it in the lake." Me- "What do you want to wish ?" Daughter-" Oh that's a secret, I can't tell you that." Well usually if something is a secret my daughter won't tell it to me at all. Her usual reply to my persuasion to tell is "Mom it's a secret, if I tell it to you it won't be a secret!!" So I had to try diplomatically to know her wish. Me- "You can tell me, maybe if you tell me your wish , it will come true." Daughter-"OK. I want to wish that I can do magic." Well thankfully I had not promised her that her wish will come true!! But anyways the first thing she did on reaching the lake was make a wish and throw the coin.
