She's Gone Batty

Nina: I have been wishing for some things for so long now. I don't think they'll ever come true.

Me: Can I try to guess what they are?

NIna: No, because then they definitely won't come true.

Me: But maybe if you gave me a hint, I could help make them come true.

Nina: I don't think so.

Me: I guess you want a baby brother or sister.

Nina: No.

Me: I guess you don't want to move away.

Nina: No.

Me: I guess you want to go to the same school next year.

Nina: No.

Me: Wow. I thought I knew you so well! I can't believe it's none of those thing!

Nina: You can keep guessing.

Me: Ok. You want a new pet?

Nina: Kind of.

Me: A kitten? A puppy? A horse?

Nina: No. I want to turn into an animal.

Me: A dolphin?

Nina: No. It's a bat.

Me: A bat?! Why a bat??

Nina: So I could fly.

Me: You know how I feel about bats.  If you were a bat I don't think we could hang out anymore.

Nina: But I really really want to be one! And don't worry, I wouldn't suck your blood.  I wouldn't be a blood sucking bat.

Me: Well that's a relief.

Nina: And besides, that would just be gross. Who knows where you're blood has been.
