Delaney, as she looks wistfully at me: "Mom, you know what I wish we had? More dresses than I could ever wear. More house than we could ever live in. More food than we could ever eat."
Me: "Well, Delaney, I like to think we have everything we need. We have a wonderful family who we love. We have a nice house and plenty of food. We have clothes and books and friends."
Delaney, scrunching up her face as she thinks about that: "Well, I wish we had more construction paper."
Oh, how adorable! The priorities of four year olds . . .

I always believe that kids' wishes, no matter how selfish they may seem on the surface, are still innocent and, therefore, are powerful.
