I am willing to bet there is not a soul in the world with less patience than Xanthe. She goes berserk in between songs on a CD, throwing a fit about why the music stopped.
We were at the pool when Xanthe found out about Wish Chips, how you can make a wish if the chip is folded over. She immediately closed her eyes and bit into one. Then she opened one eye and looked around. Running over to me, she shouted, "My wish didn't come! My wish didn't come!" I asked her what the wish was and she whispered in my ear, "A pony."
I said, "Xanthe, a pony isn't going to just appear at the pool. You might as well wish for a unicorn. A pink one."
Moms say the dumbest things. Xanthe put her hand on her hip and said, "Mom, ponies are real." Yeah, but you still can't get one by biting into a barbeque-flavored Clover Club. Just don't try to explain why to Xanthe. Coco tried to talk her out of dreaming big, but then just felt like she was crushing the innocent childhood right out of the little wisher. So Xanthe is still waiting for that pony. But not a unicorn. Those are pretend.
