My daughter asked me this and I did not expect her answer
We were walking back home from the temple when she asked me that question.
I wanted to tell her: When you tell out your wish loud, it may not come true.
But the Mommy’s heart wanted to know what was going on in the 7-year-old’s mind.
So I said: Yes, I would love to know.
Daughter: I wish, coronavirus is over this year, Mom.
Me: What?!
Daughter: Yes!
Me: Didn’t you wish anything for our family?
Daughter: No, Mommy. I think the world becoming covid free is more important than everything else.
OMG…what have I done, a part of me came out to pat my back for raising a kid who wishes not just for herself or the family! But for something bigger and better!
Me: You mean, you wished for the world?
Daughter: Yeah, You can say that too.
Me: Wait, what do you mean? What is your wish again?
Daughter: Mommy, don’t be silly. I just told you my wish. I …WANT… CORONAVIRUS… TO… BE… OVER.
Me: Why?
Daughter: What do you mean why? Only then, we can go out to malls, theatres, toy shops,…And live a normal life!
Me: What about the world?
Daughter: Yeah, everyone else can do that too.
The part of me ducks back with no further due.
