Let's Ponder


When asked what he needed for his birthday, my six-year-old nephew said firmly, "I don't want to need. I want to want!"

While travelling through the Smoky Mountains, I stopped for gas in a village. An old-timer meandered over to fill up my tank. When I offered my credit card, he refused it, saying, "Sonny, it's cash only here. Credit's something you get for doing a good deed."

    Hello, Balqis! :) You disturbed me - I was close to a first-rate idea! :(
    As your title suggested "Let's ponder", I was just pondering and pondering and, and wondering what would be the best idea! :(
    Anyway, here is my stale second-rate idea-
    James is simply joking - a good joke!
    But, the little boy is a big boss - he doesn't like to wish anything that he NEEDS on his birthday, because needs are fulfilled without asking. So, he is talking about what he wants - that is what he desires, not needs! :)
