Best Wishes

We were walking in the park when three year old Ronnie found a dandelion puff.

"Look!" he pounced upon it exuberantly. "You can wish!" He picked the flower and puffed his cheeks out.

"Ronnie's making a wish," I said as Charlie turned and walked over to us.

The little boy blew the dandelion puffs to the wind. His face broke into a big grin.

"What'd you wish for?" Charlie demanded.

"Bananas." Ronnie's attention was on the ground looking for another flower.

"Bananas?" Charlie's tone was incredulous. "You can have bananas! Why not ask for something hard?"

"Like money, Charlie?" I asked.

"No! Like world peace. I would wish for world peace rather than plain ol' bananas!"
