And the epilogue to this morality play: be careful what you wish for. Now that Ina Garten has agreed to cook with Enzo, the 6-year-old cancer-stricken fan who was initially rebuffed by the Food Network star, his family has graciously declined the offer. "We're not going to do it," Enzo's dad told ABC News. "I don't want my son to go through any other stress. We just want to go on with our life."

Like it or not, the young foodie got roped into the takedown and reparation of a celebrity. It's hardly what his family expected from the Make-A-Wish experience. Now Enzo and his family are over it, and so are we. We just hope he's still going to get his wish to swim with dolphins. He deserves it.
