Wish it green!

From Sundy:

A few weeks ago, I was taking my (now adult) sons in the car on some errands. While we were stopped at a red light, I suddenly remembered when they were little and fighting in the backseat.

I had been at my wits' end one day with all of their yelling and carrying-on. I was ready to pull my hair out just to distract them from whatever three year olds fight about. Then I realized I could distract them another way.

"Hey! Hey, boys!" They looked up at my eyes peering at them through the rear-view mirror. "Look, the lights red, guys....can you wish it green for me?" And we'd all stare at the light, silently wishing it green. (Ah...the silence was BEAUTIFUL!)

Of course, it always worked! :)
