Penny Wishes

"Nope," they said, to pancakes.  "We want donuts." 

This after the midnight ice cream. 

I can't imagine what else a nine-year-old girl could want, but they assured me there was more to toss pennies and wish for. 

"No pets," I warned, and handed over my copper.

Is it just me, or does that look have pony written all over it?
