The Fine Print Of Wish-Making

by Leslie

Last night, my parents took Julia and me out to dinner. On the way home from the restaurant, Julia was looking out the car window, admiring the full moon when she noticed a star.

“Mom! Mommy! There’s a wishing star! A wishing star! We all need to make wishes. Okay? Alright. I wish that I could fly! Yes! Grandpa, what do you wish for?”

Grandpa said, “Uhhh, well, I wish for a super-tractor for my garden.”

“Good one, Grandpa!” Julia clapped enthusiastically. “What do you wish for Mommy?”

“I wish for a million dollars,” I said.

“Okay, Mom,” Julia replied. “What about you Grandma?”

Grandma said, “I wish we would get home fast so I can pee!”

“Aw, Grandma,” Julia said screwing up her face, “That’s a bad wish! You’re gonna make the stars mad, Grandma. That wish was bad. Your wishes need to be magic to come true!”

Sadly - I have been in Grandma’s position - and I understand her wish! Sometimes pee trumps magic wishes! LOL

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Besides, the stars were already pissed…you aren’t supposed to tell anyone your wish!

Um… you know, I can see both sides of this issue, lol.

I definitely see Julia’s point of view, but when you gotta pee it’s hard to think of magic.

Julia has a point. Grandma needs to come up with a better wish. Like being abducted by a UFO that’s really a flying restroom in disguise.

It’s a pity Grandma made the stars mad because I bet Julia would have been excellent at flying.

Julia is magical, even after the last post.

I’m with grandma, seriously when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Besides, I am all for realism.

Here’s hoping grandma’s un-magical wish came true… for your upholstery’s sake.

Hehe. Peeing is such a good wish. Not magic, no, but a good one.
