So, today’s writing prompt asks: If you had three wishes from a genie, what would they be?
That’s easy — my first wish would be for 20 more wishes.
Because who in their right mind stops at three? That’s like saying “just one scoop” at an ice cream shop or “I’ll only watch Youtube for five minutes.” Nobody does that.
So here’s my official list — 20 wishes, each designed to make life smoother, funnier, and a little less ridiculous.
Wish #1: The Facebook Filter
Every time I open Facebook, I see actual friend’s posts — not 27 ads for shoes, miracle vitamins, or gadgets I never asked for.
Wish #2: The Red-Light Redemption
Every red light instantly turns green when I’m two minutes late. But only for me. Everyone else still has to wait — perks of wish ownership.
Wish #3: The Telemarketer Loop
Every telemarketer phone call gets redirected to another telemarketer. They can sell each other extended car warranties until the end of time.
Wish #4: The Doctor’s Office Miracle
If my appointment is at 10:00, the doctor actually walks in at 10:00. No “he’ll be right with you” at 10:47. My weight, blood test and blood pressure are all perfect and my doctors says “How do you do it?!”
Wish #5: The Universal Remote
One button that can mute loud neighbors, barking dogs, and political arguments at family gatherings.
Wish #6: The Perfect Cup
My coffee brews itself the moment I open my eyes — hot, strong, and just the way I like it.
Wish #7: The Shopping Cart Code
Every time I walk into a store, the shopping cart wheels glide straight, silently, and without that one wheel that wobbles like it’s possessed.
Wish #8: The Self-Emptying Trash Can
Takes itself out, ties its own bag, and remembers recycling day without my help.
Wish #9: The Eternal Wi-Fi Signal
No buffering, no dead zones, no spinning circles — ever. Even in the garage and basement.
Wish #10: The Grocery Store Checkout Rule
If I have one item and the person in front of me has 87, they are legally obligated to let me go first — with a smile.
Wish #11: The Reverse Aging back
Just the just my back. I’m not greedy. I just want to stand up from a chair without making sound effects.
Wish #12: The Universal “Undo” Button
Covers everything — bad comment, wrong text, bad haircut, poor stock decision, or that time I clicked “Reply All.”
Wish #13: The Eternal Parking Spot
Front row, every time. Rain, snow, concert — doesn’t matter. My spot’s waiting.
Wish #14: The Fast-Forward for Long Meetings
A little click, and boom — I’m at “In conclusion…” without missing anything important.
Wish #15: The Perfect Temperature
My house is always the exact temperature I want 72— even when my wife disagrees.
Wish #16: The Auto-Find Glasses Feature
Anytime I lose my glasses, keys, or phone, they immediately start humming “Here I Am.”
Wish #17: The Honest Reviews Only Act
All product reviews online must be written by real people — not bots, employees, or someone who was “gifted this item in exchange for an honest review.”
Wish #18: The Pet Translator
So I can finally find out if my cat actually likes me or just tolerates me for the food.
Wish #19: The Time Freeze for Naps
Every 30-minute nap lasts three hours in real time, but no one else notices.
Wish #20: The “Peace and Quiet” Button
When I press it, everything stops — no phones, no noise, no chaos. Just a still world, me, and maybe a bowl of ice cream.
Final Thought
Three wishes? No thanks. I’m taking twenty.
And if the genie complains, wish #21 will be “a new genie with better customer service.”
Bonus Quote how could I forget?
“And of course, my last wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.”
