When Little C was more of a lower case c, he ended up getting dragged along to MANY coffee dates.  He was a good sport as long as there was pastry involved.  He even nicknamed my friend Brilliant Julie, "The Cuppa Cuppy Mama."  (The Cup of Coffee Mama.)  And since he had been such a good sport for so many dates, the ladies and I took him to one of his favorite places for a change: The Conservatory.  Favorite Mary held his hand and examined the flowers with him.  Kind Margie gave him a penny and took him to the fountain.  He knew what to do and tossed the coin in.  Then Kind Margie asked him what he wished for.  The reply?

"A penny."
