She Says Flower, I say Weed

“I wish...” I recently heard my four-year-old daughter say from her car seat. 

I mentally tried to fill in the blank.  I was certain she was going to wish for candy, toys or a trip to the park.

Instead, she continued by saying, “that our backyard was full of dandelions.”

I chuckled and asked her why.  It was because she thinks they are beautiful. 

Leave it to a four year old to turn weeding into an opportunity for picking a bouquet.

I like the way that girl looks at the world.  I do believe she is meant to teach me a thing or two.

In the meantime, I fully plan on capitalizing on her desire to pick the “flowers.”
