Dining with Squirrels

Portrait of My Children:

Today we were in the lobby of a downtown building and Ben and Lucy spotted a little fountain.  I, SuperMom, happened to have pennies in my pocket, so each kid lept onto the edge of the fountain [it’s only fun if you might fall in!] and scrunched up their faces, wish-making.

After 4 seconds, Lucy whipped her penny into the fountain and immediately leaned over to tell me her wish.  “I wished for one hundred wishes more!”

A full minute later, Ben carefully took aim for the very center of the fountain and tossed his penny in.  “I wished our economy would get better.”

I could just eat them up.
