An existential tale from the #landofcute

Marcus was having trouble going to sleep last night.

Marcus:Mommy, my wish never comes true!
Mommy: Well, what do you wish for?
Marcus:I pray to god that I can be a super hero and have invisible stars shoot out of my hands. They are really gold coloured but only I can see them. They are invisible.
Mommy:Well you know what Marcus. My wishes and prayers always come true.
His eyes widen…..”Really? what do you wish for?
Mommy: Every night I wish that you will always be healthy, and look here you are!”
He rolls his eyes…..LIKE A TEENAGER (It is a special feeling that washes over me when my 5 year old does that)
“Marcus, stop and think about this for a moment. There are moms and dads all over the world who have to spend everyday in the hospital with their sick children. We are blessed Marcus!”
“Mommy. I really want stars to come shooting out of my hands”
“Good night sweet boy. I love you”
“Goodnight Mommy”
