Genies

Yesterday I explained the idea of a “genie” to Ashley—that you rub a lamp, a guy pops out and offers you three wishes, and then you make your three wishes (anything you want!) and he goes back into the lamp.  She loved the idea (and for the record, her three wishes are a baby, a hat, and a banana) but seemed skeptical: “What about the blue and grey thing?”

Well, after interrogating her for some time, I figured out what she meant… back in mid-October, we’d walked by a Genie window-washer lift in West Hartford Center.  Yep, that’s our girl—remembering the name and colors of some lift truck that she went by in the stroller a couple of times three months ago…
