I'm just back from holiday. Here's an exchange between my youngest (aged 6) and myself on one of our days out, explaining why people had thrown some coins into a wishing well.
Me: Some people think that if they throw a coin in and make a wish, the wish will come true. What do you think? Do you think that works?
Him: (pause to think). No. I just think that's a waste of money
Me: Quite right. But it's a fun game to play, isn't it? Shall we have a go?
Him: (eagerly) Yeah!
My wish was for us to sign Stekelenberg and Huddlestone; his was for us to win the FA Cup this season (he thinks bigger than I do!). So here's my question: what's everybody's Fulhamish wish for this season?
