When you wish...

There were quite a few stars out on our way home tonight. Jenna told me she had made a wish on one of them. She always wishes for the same thing: a new teddy bear. "You make a wish, Mommy," she told me, "What do you wish for?"

"Jenna, I wish that my family is always happy and healthy." I said, feeling sentimental.

There was a long pause. Then as if I'd suggested the most absurd thing in the world, in fact I could almost hear her roll her eyes, she said:

"Okay, but you should have wished for a teddy bear."
