The best quote of my day came from Jude while making our way to the car after leaving Como Zoo in St. Paul. We had to walk a little way.
We came across a sea of dandelions past their prime. As Jude ran into them, he looked back at me, "hey mom! Can you even believe it? Look at all these wishes!" I could have almost cried at the innocence and wonderment of the statement.
He picked some for me and some for him. We made our wishes and blew the seeds. Spreading weeds, spreading wishes. He wished that the Target store we were going to stop at on the way home sold the Bakugan game he wanted. I wished that we would all have a happy night.
My boys managed to be angels the rest of the evening. Jude asked if I got my wish, and I told him that I did. "See mom, wishing flowers really work. And ah, mom, I also wished you would paint a dinosaur in my room."
I guess the kid is getting a dinosaur. Who am I to question the power of the wishing flower?
