Wishers

The boys and I were on the B&O trail when Conrad pulled his scooter over and asked if he could get one of the "Wishers". A wisher is what he calls dandelions when they've turned white and seedy because he makes a wish when he blows them. We trotted on down the trail after the quick stop. I asked what he wished for.
"For kindergarten to start tomorrow."

His wish will be belated by about two weeks. I wish I had grabbed a "wisher" so I could wish for him to love kindergarten as much as he thinks he will...and maybe for a couple more weeks of summer. I'm not ready...
