I was putting the laundry away in McKinley's room at bedtime, our conversation went like this:
McKinley: Mom, when does the wishing star come out?
Me: (absentmindedly) I don't know, go look out the window
McKinley: I see stars, which one is the wishing star?
Me: The first one that came out, it's probably the biggest and brightest one
McKinley: Like Jesus' star?
Me: I think so
McKinley: I am going to make a wish
Me: What are you going to wish for?
McKinley: (in a very excited voice) REAL makeup! The really good kind that I get to wear when I get bigger. What do you wish for mom?
Me: (still putting away laundry after a long day - kids don't catch onto sarcasm) A new car
McKinley: I hope you get an ice-cream truck for your new car, that would be really cool!
Me: (wryly) Yeah, even an ice-cream truck would be an improvement
McKinley: I'll wish for that for you, too. I think you'll get it
Hmmm... doubtful, although it would be cool to drive around the neighborhood and annoy my neighbors with the awesome ice-cream truck music ;). I love the things their little minds think of, though. I had to write it down before it disappears into oblivion as have so many other silly conversations that we have had. I LOVE my kids!

hahaha--I can just picture you driving around an ice cream truck! Cute that she wished it for you though :)
Don't ever say never. Scott's new work truck could serve as an ice cream truck....an ambulance...a dog catcher...oh the possibilities!!!!
The things that run through their little heads are so funny. That is so cute.
