dream big

This morning, I asked Elian if he wanted to do a wishbone I had saved from a chicken I roasted the other night. He had done one before with me, but I gave him a refresher course.

MAMA: "You hold one side, and I hold the other. We both make a wish, then pull. Whoever gets the bigger piece gets their wish to come true."

(I can see him thinking deeply about this.)

MAMA: "Okay, so think about your wish..."

ELIAN: (In a barely audible whisper) "watch TV..."

We break the wishbone and he wins. And by the power of the almighty wishbone, I truly believe his wish will actually come true at some point today.
