Dallas, TX That's not a wish, it is a fantasy. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR Power Felicia, 34
Lowell, MA Just about anything. Don't tempt fate. Firelady, 22
Dallas, TX If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.If turnips were watches, I'd wear one at my side. Jill, 59
Saylorsburg, PA Uh. . .only one of my wishes that I can recall has come true, so I'm not really worried about being unsatisfied with the results of a wish fulfilled. Karen, 20
Marshelltown/Ames, IA What a cool question! I try not to wish for complete financial security because the cost for that are too high. My husband and I both strive for a simple life and want to work in areas that will help low-income families. That puts us in the non-profit world, which equals low-paying jobs. To have a high paying job would mean abandoning our commitment to those less fortunate Laura, 35
Lowell, MA Again with the time travel. One track mind? Maybe. On a different note, when I was in high school, I used to wonder what it would be like to be less smart. Sounds snotty, huh? Well it was, but I was under extreme amounts of pressure from everyone: teachers, principal, parents, friends, and myself. I was the one who was going to "make something of herself." I often wondered what it would be like to be one of the mediocre.And who ever said I wasn't modest? Amy, 23
|New Orleans, LA Success and a surcease of sorrow. Anthony, 25
Baton Rouge, LA i don't believe I agree with the premise of the question. . . my "wishes" don't seem like romantic mystical pre-ordained fatalistic things. . . I don't believe it's possible for me to wish "too hard" for something, unless that "wish" causes me to lose perspective on the hard, long struggle that mothmc, 35
Los Angeles, LA Damn good question. Fame and a job I'd actually feel committed to. Alias Irrelevante That my children will grow up and stop pestering me. Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ I really try not to wish for anything because if it is a realistic wish to some degree, I can make it happen by myself if I try/work hard enough! But I guess that occasional wish for a little more money slips into my mind now and then. Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ All my wishes are grand and intentional, I hope they all come true Jami, 27
Lowell, MA Well, to die, certainly. I know we all wish for that at sometime. At the time I do wish it, it seems pretty true. Aurora, 17
Montreal, Quebec CANADA Before I was married, I was careful not to wish too hard for a super hot Brad Pitt-looking husband because guys that look like that always turn out to be the biggest jerks of all. It's fun to dream about someone like that but reality would probably suck. I'm happy with what I've got - a smart, sensitive, stable man who is family-oriented and treats me like a queen. He's not "movie star hot" but definately adorable enough to mix Susan, 31
Chicago, IL This one was really tough. I think one wish I don't wish too hard for is that my worst enemy of many years now should have to endure some sort of anguish like that which she has bestowed upon others over time. The only reason I fear seeing this wish come true is because of my rigid Catholic upbringing (which I don't follow anymore) which has pounded enough guilt into my being for an eternity of Thursdays...I know if this particular wish came true, I'd end up suffering senselessly in some confused emotional state. Fisch, 45
Preston, CT That I could have had a senior year at high school. Because even though I sometimes want it, I know that I would hate it if I had it. I'm glad to be experiencing college a year earlier than most. Angela, 16
Aiken, SC It would probably be seeing my ex-boyfriend die a horrible bloody death... That isn't a very nice wish now, is it?? Maggie, 20
Sandwich, IL "I wish the wife would do more housework" I often wish that, but if it were to come true, I wonder if it would leave me with too little to do.... Being idle would also make me unhappy. Jesse, 24
Bowie, MD Don't ever wish that someone you know (especially a family member or friend) were dead! Don't ever tell anyone to go to hell! You just might meet them there… Melodi, 19
Hlliard, OH I wish for money and recognition and time for my artwork. I have no problem wishing for it really hard. Why would you bother to wish for something that you didn't really want? Tina, 31
Medford, MA That time would pass more quickly in order for the things I’m looking forward to to get here faster. Nicole
Elk Grove, CA I don’t believe in that sort of stuff. I very often wish that some people (ie. my mother) would leave me alone sometimes. Shanna, 15
