My Birthday Wish

When Harmony came down to give hugs and kisses last night she says, " Hey Framma, remember when you blew out your birthday candle and you got to make a wish?" I told her I sure did and that it was a very good wish too!
She says "Well, Fram, I know you're not supposed to tell anyone your wish or it won't come true so, I'm just gonna ask you something and you can just nod your head yes or no ok?" I agreed, wondering what the heck this kid has gotten me into now.....
She says...."So, remember what I whispered in your ear before you blew out the candle?" I nodded yes... she says "Well, was that your wish?" I nodded yes...She took off running through the house like a lunatic, saying yes, yes, yes, sort of under her breath, with the 6 dogs hot on her heels, wondering what just happened!! Her blonde hair was just flying behind her and as she ran back to me, after a few laps through the house, she couldn't even breathe! lol.
Her eyes were as big as dinner plates and she says "Oh my goodness Fram, do you know what? I wished for the same thing!!" I said "Oh really??" She says "Yup I told you to wish for a magic wand and I wished for one too! So now we can get anything we want Framma, ANYTHING!!" She grabs my face in her sweaty little hands and looks me right in the eyes and says: "Do you know what this means??? We can get a swimming pool and a HUGE swing set (with her arms spread wide open) and get Papa a brand new Van and all kinds of good stuff!! Framma! It's gonna be AMAZING!!!"

I just sat there not saying anything.....She just stands there looking at me, her brow scrunches up and she says "What?, What, Framma? What's the matter?" I say to her: "Well, Harm, that sounds like a really good plan with all those new things but guess what?" She gets all serious looking and says "What?" I said "Our wish for magic wands won't come true now because we told each other what we wished for."
Her eyes filled with tears and her lip started to tremble and I thought for sure she was gonna start wailing in about 5 seconds... Then she sighed...a big full, fill your lungs and let it back out sigh.... She looks at the floor and says " Framma, our next Birthdays are so far away, how are we ever gonna wait that long to wish for magic wands again?" And then the tears spilled over... I just hugged her and told her that we'll be a whole year older next year and by then we can wish for even bigger and better things by then! She was happy with that but she still said that a whole year was way to long to wait.
It made me wish that we had a birthday 4 times a year or something! This kid thought she had it all figured out at 6 years old! Poor baby :(
