Yesterday I was at the Hazeldean Mall with Captain Jelly Belly, and this mall has a series of fountains along the inside. The Captain always asks for a penny so he can make a wish in the fountain. Every time he wishes it’s the same: “I wish I had french fries and McNuggets.”

Yesterday he asked for a penny and I handed him one and was ready to hear the usual wish. But instead he said, “I wish I could stay at home with Mommy and Daddy forever.”

Aaaand my heart turned into a puddle of mush.
