Sketch: Wishing Lesson
"You want to learn a magic trick?"
"Yes."
"Go get some dandelions."
"Dandy lions?"
"Dandelions. The white flowers."
"They're not very pretty."
"They're the prettiest kind of flower there is. Get some, I'll show you."
"Okay. Here."
"No, you hold onto them."
"What's the magic trick?"
"You know how you blow out candles on a birthday cake?"
"Yes."
"It's like that."
"How?"
"First, you have to make a wish."
"What kinda wish?"
"Anything you want with your whole heart."
"Mama?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you still love Daddy?"
"I love you, baby."
"Where is he?"
"Who, Daddy?"
"Yeah."
"He's gone... on... business."
"Is he coming back?"
"I don't know, baby."
"Are you going to go on business?"
"No. No, baby, I'm staying right here. Did you think of a wish yet?"
"Yes, I wish that we could --"
"Shh. It's a secret between you and the dandelion."
"Oh."
"Okay, are you ready?"
"I guess so. What'm I s'posed to do?"
"Wish really hard, with your whole heart and then blow on the dandelion hard. As hard as you can."
"Why?"
"Beause when you blow, all those white seeds come off and go away. And maybe, as they go, they'll tell your wish to someone who can make it come true."
"Is that why it's magic, Mama?"
"Yes, that's why. Ready? We'll go together. 1... 2... 3."
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because you make me happy."
"Oh. Can I do another one?"
"As many as you want, baby. As many as you want."
"You want to learn a magic trick?"
"Yes."
