Isabelle had an eyelash on her cheek this afternoon. I touched my finger to it and held it up to show her. "This is very special, Izzie. Whenever you catch an eyelash that has fallen, it will do its best to grant your wish. You need to make a wish and then blow it away so it can go make your wish come true! What do you wish for?" Izzie looked at me quizzically. "Ok, what is it that you would really like to have?"
"That eyelash."
"Well, you already have that eyelash. Now you need to make a wish. What do you want more than anything?"
"I want my eyelash."
"Ok. Is there something you would really like to have for your birthday?"
Izzie's eyes got really wide and her whole face just lit up at the mention of her birthday, something FAR more magical than a silly old eyelash that can grant wishes. "Oh! I would like a REINDEER!" She blew that eyelash right off my finger.
