“Then what?” she asked.

“I want to go to Egypt,” I said. “To see the pyramids! Don’t you?”

“Well, yes,” she said, “that would be marvelous. But we probably can’t do that tomorrow.”

“Probably not,” I admitted. “But I didn’t think I’d get to see 1937 either, so let’s write everything down. Who knows what crazy thing might happen!”

“In that case,” she said, “I’d like to fly.”

“How are you planning to manage that?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know, but three days ago, it seemed impossible I’d ever see the backyard again, so if you get Egypt, I get flying. Make sense?”

“Sure.” I laughed. “Why not? We’re dreaming, after all. In which case, I want to be rich someday, super rich. Write that one down.”

Molly scribbled, then looked up. “I want to get married and have a family. And I want to do good things too. I want to help people. But I don’t know how just yet. Maybe I’ll be a nurse.” She scribbled something down. “Also, I want to meet Fred Astaire.”

“Write down about the pizza,” I said. “That’s P-I-Z-Z-A.”

“Oh, I almost forgot,” she said.

“And I want to be in a movie,” I said. “And I want to stop biting my nails.”

“And I want,” said Molly, “to save someone’s life.…”

“Wow,” I said, sitting up. “That’s a big one.”

“Yes, it is,” said Molly, looking down at her list. “Perhaps that’s enough for now. Perhaps it’s time to go to bed. We can think of more things to add tomorrow, can’t we? We can just keep adding to the list forever.”
