Somehow, after Karyn made her wish, it became hard to think about Karyn's previous existence. She had wished for smaller breasts and turned into a little kid (who had small breasts, of course). But now her new wish had changed reality for me too, since I hadn't heard it.
Hadn't heard what? I could no longer remember...
"I wished Sarah wouldn't be mean to me because she's my Mommy."
I looked at the 3 year old who had difficulty getting on and off of stools. "Of course Sarah is your mommy," I said. "You even have your mommy's hair."
"But I wished," said the little girl.
"I can't have you making wishes... who knows what would happen?" I took the stone back from Karyn and let her go over to her mother. But it still bothered me... just what had she wished?
