How can they be so Different!?

Yesterday afternoon there was quite a bit of police activity on our street. We were on our way out to a t-ball game when I first became aware of it and I knew by what I was seeing that something was terribly wrong. When we arrived back home an hour later my concerns were confirmed. We were told that our neighbor had been found deceased in her home. The police asked me a few questions about what I may have seen or heard and let me know that the coroner was on the way. I decided to leave with the kids and go out to dinner. They were just a little too interested in the goings on and I felt that it would be better if we were just not home for a bit. We headed down to Schlotsky's (Kids eat free on Tuesdays!) and settled into a booth. The conversation that followed was mostly about death and about how the family would feel, etc. It was all very serious and somber. Little Man, my sensitive child, began telling me about what he would wish for if he had fairy god parents who could grant him any wish he chose. He mentioned things like "No one would get sick or die anymore", "No one would be sad", "There would be no starving children", "No one would commit any crimes"........You get the picture. At this point in the conversation Muffin Man piped up and said "If I had fairy god parents I would wish for a house made out of chicken and french fries with a swimming pool full of ketchup and a roof made of pizza!" THUD! What more can I say? Again, how can they be so different?
