you can get what you wish for?!?

so today . . . at recess as i scanned the gym (because we can't go outside, because it's been raining and raining and raining) my eyes stopped when i saw this.amid all the chaos that is "recess in the gym," there sat joshua. joshua is a delightful little boy who always has a ready smile and loves to give hugs. he is also busy, busy, busy, so this was an especially unusual sight. as i walked closer, i heard him saying, "ommmmmm." when i got to him, he opened his eyes and smiled that big smile. and then i said . . .

"joshua, what are you doing?"
"i'm wishing."
"really. where did you learn to do that."
"on tv."
"oh, you saw people on tv doing this."
"yes."
"what else did they do?"
"just this." now i am thinking, definitely not must see tv!
"and what did they say?"
"they said . . . " and then he closed his eyes and assumed the position, and said "ommmm."
"what do you think they were doing?"
"they were wishing."
"really. did they get what they wished for?"
big smile. "yes."

five year olds . . . they just crack me up!
