The Be Careful What You Wish For Thread

a reply to: Atsbhct

I've always known somehow it'd be scurvy.

Your wish is granted, and in a frenzied fit of creativity, you complete your novel. You realize, however, that you've foregone food, water, and sleep for too long. You are hospitalized.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Lucky you! Turns out you didn't eat it after all

The band members STILL can't drive and the GPS isn't working so...
you're stuck.

I wish I didn't feel bad about killing all of those Unicorns!

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Granted but your lack of remorse encourages the unicorns to come back and haunt you with a vengeance.

I wish for pennies from heaven.

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Your wish is granted, and your unicorn bloodthirst rages on unchecked.

I wish I had more energy on the weekends.

a reply to: MiddleInitial

Granted but Atsbhct recovers so speedily that she can't slow down again - ever.

And granted but you have so much extra energy that it spills over into Monday and you work yourself to exhaustion and have to sleep all through the next weekend.

My wish is still the pennies from heaven.

a reply to: berenike

Granted. Millions of dollars in pennies rain down from the heavens onto your property (which is destroyed). To add insult to injury, you are taxed heavily on the heavenly windfall. After taxes and repairs to your property, you are in roughly the same position financially.

I wish I could be a kid again, knowing what I know now.

a reply to: MiddleInitial

Granted but the weight of the knowledge takes all the joy out of being a kid so you wish you'd stayed a grown up. Not to mention getting spotty again...

I wish the clouds were always rosy in the sunshine.
