When You Wish.

It's past the mid-point of our brief Florida vacation and we go to Dunkin Donuts to get bagels and muffins for breakfast. The shop is in a kind of strip mall and there's an open air section and an .. it's hard to describe - acoustic bubble of some kind, a giant upside down bowl painted blue as the sky which has the pleasantly surprising effect of amplifying and echoing your voice as you move and speak underneath. It took me quite by surprise. The other thing there is a fountain and the Boy asks for change to make a wish. We all throw in some change and (against the superstition), compare wishes.

Me: I wished for more vacations like this one.

Boy: I wished for palm trees to have ice cream on top. But I almost wished for you not to watch Sportscenter every morning.
