Passing Dream

We were driving along one day when my daughter was not quite 2 years old. My mother and I were discussing the importance of well-balanced eating habits and deciding that we would go to a coffee shop to order a healthy lunch, when, what should come into view but the Big Golden arches! My daughter burst out in an excited song..."We're going to McDonald's, we're going to McDonald's". We glanced at each other and determinely continued driving. There was a slight pause as we passed, then her song started up again.....We're NOT going to McDonald's, we're NOT going to McDonald's!
