a wish

Okay, this is my sweetie, eating cake.

Just a moment before this, he and I were goofing around. He had a long skinny block in his hand, waving it around like a wand.

I took it from him and tapped him on the head and said, "I give you a magic wish."

He gave me a long look, and his eyes twinkled.

Then he tapped me and said, "I give you magic monkey arms."

Oh.  My.  Gosh.

I laughed, and that niece in the pink jacket was a full witness to the whole thing and we laughed some more.

I told her, "Nobody has ever wished me anything like that before in my whole entire life."

Magic monkey arms.

Whee.  The possibilities are endless.

Magic monkey arms wished on me by a sweetie.   What a Thursday.   love always, Grandma
