The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of...

I was babysitting my friends two children last night. The eldest is just over three. She was having trouble getting to sleep. So I asked her what she liked to dream about. Her response very quickly and excitedly was "chocolate". I asked if there was anything else, with a big smile she said "flowers". So I got her to settle down and try to dream of these things, suggesting maybe chocolate flowers. She sat up very suddenly and said with a very serious look on her face "but Ruth if flowers were really made of chocolate and the sun came out they would all melt". Good point I thought! Be careful what you wish for!
