Scout has this HORRIBLE habit of experiencing a thing and instead of loving it for what it is, she makes a wish. Like mid-bite of a cupcake she will say “I wish I could have a cupcake for dinner.” Or if she wins a stuffed animal from one of those claw machines (because she does, and I thought they were all rigged), she will say “I wish I had TWO stuffed animals” before the first one has even reached her hands.
It makes me crazy.
