When you wish upon a vapor trail...

Try as I might, I cannot convince the boys that when they look up into the sky during the daytime and see a vapor trail from a jet, that it is not in fact a shooting star. This is the one time they totally disregard my vast jeopardy champion knowledge, and go with their gut feeling. As soon as they see one, they make a wish (out loud) for whatever it is their heart desires. Lately, it has been to have both super-hero and super-villain powers...all of them.

Today, Jake and I made a run to the bank. He brought his Ipod and was jamming and singing in the back seat. In the middle of the song he saw a "shooting star". Without breaking rhythm he sang, "...I wish for my brother to have all of the super-hero and super-villain powers." Then he went right back to the verse of the song. Too cool.

I am now of the opinion that as much as I know, I have forgotten the magic of imagination. Thanks for the reminder Jake.
