“Mama – wouldn’t it be amazing if I pressed the jewel on my ring, my wishes would come true?” Esther asked.
“Why don’t you try, Esther and see what happens?” I replied
“No, I don’t think it will?” Esther answered shaking her head.
“Why not?” I prodded.
“Because I really want a unicorn of my own…do you really think I can have one if I wish hard enough?” She perked up. (note, I am now getting slightly concerned about Esther’s obsession with unicorns.)
“Of course you can!” I answered.

So Esther pressed her ring and closed her eyes and when she opened them she excitedly said “I see him – I really do – do you think he’ll take me anywhere I want to go like over the rainbow and around the world? Oh mom, I cannot believe he is here!”

A little later when Esther tired of playing with her pet unicorn, she came and snuggled on my lap and quietly said “mom, why don’t you press the jewel on your ring and make your wishes come true? Maybe you can have a pet unicorn.”
“Oh I don’t need to do that” I replied “all my wishes have already been granted and you are one of them.”

What are you using your magic rings to wish for?
Linking up with Darcy at Sweet Shot Tuesday.
I’m not sure, though I’d really love that particular magic ring because it’s gorgeous!

Can you believe she made it?
What a perfect answer!
I think I need to go find me a magic ring. I’d be wishing for someone to do laundry.

Oh I need some laundry done also – I should really wish for a cleaning lady too…
I’m wishing for about 4″ of fresh powdery snow to hide all the ugly ice crusted snowbanks sporting our yard, I miss the pretty stuff that melted last week.
This entry reminds me of the story Goldilicious from the Pinkalicious book series by Victoria Kann…has Miss Esther read that story?
It is one of her favorite books.
I know – I love the snow and just want more and more!
someone to come and help me decorate my living room. and someone to help me organize my basement now that my old living room moved into it.
and for a snow day. tomorrow.

I, too, was a big unicorn fan as a young lady. Maybe I can dig up some of my stuff….
Joy, happiness and keeping that icky winter depression at bay.

Cute! This reminds me of the wonderful book The Secret of the Ruby Ring by Yvonne MacGrory. She makes a wish on her ring… and then the trouble begins. Probably over Esther’s head right now, it would make a great read aloud.
