Do you want duck feet?

Thursday night before bed, I read my boys the book, I Wish That I Had Duck Feet. It used to be one of my favorite books as a kid. When I see the illustrations, they bring back memories of reading this book over and over. This was just one of those stories I couldn't get enough of. In the book, a boy wishes for things like duck feet, deer antlers, an elephant nose, a long tail, a whale spout and so forth. There are pros and cons for each one. In the end, he's happy being himself -- are you?

Is there something you wish you had? Would you like great big ears so you could hear what people were saying? Would you want wings to fly around so you didn't have to sit in traffic? If you could pick just ONE thing, what would it be? Wings to fly would be the obvious choice for me, but if I had to pick something else, I'd pick one of those light-up dingle-hopper things on fish. You know the really ugly fish that live at the very bottom of the ocean? I think it would be cool to go down there and check things out. I'd just want it for a day because I imagine being an ugly fish wouldn't be much fun.
