Standing out at the bus stop today with my daughter, waiting
for the bus once again. My daughter picks a dandelion and just like our mommas
told us, I tell her to blow it and make a wish. She looks at me with a sad face
and tells me my wishes never come true.
Ok I have to admit that one made me feel a little sad myself,
here my daughter is making wishes yet none of them are coming true. So I ask
her honey what are you wishing for. She tells me well I wished I could go to
Dragon Land (from the cartoon Dragon Tails), then she says I also wish I could
see a unicorn, and then the last wish she’s wished for is that I would never
run out of money. My little girl is
wishing for things that will never come true. Dragon Land doesn’t exist, she’s
never going to see a unicorn aside from cartoons, and well shit I’m never going
to have an unlimited supply of money. That is unless we win the lottery.
I sent my daughter off to school with a smile on
my face. The innocents of our children, they are only little for a short time.
They may drive us nuts but it’s the little things like this that make it all
worth this wild journey called parenthood
