Wishbone

This morning I introduced Riley to the concept of a wishbone, and asked him to make a wish. Having never before identified career aspirations, he surprised me when he answered, "When I grow up, I want to be a policeman."

I asked him, "Do you know that Grandpa Dodger was a police officer?"

He said, "Yep, Grandma told me."

I asked, "Why do you want to be a police officer?"

He looked at me as if I were missing the obvious. Then he said, "So I can write tickets!"

Ha!

Well, tough luck for the SFPD, Riley did not win the wishbone. I'm the lucky one, earning my wish: 10 Riley hugs and kisses.
