You just might get what you wish for
A friend of mine wrote today about having wished on a falling star and then realizing that the wish was her old standard wish and she didn't really even want it anymore and then wondering if there is a five-second rule with wishes like there is with food on the floor (I saw that episode of Mythbusters too!).
Which made me think of a recent wish thing that happened to me.
I boiled a chicken and thus found myself in possession of a chicken wishbone. This was a few months ago when I was still waiting to hear if I had gotten the new job or not.
So I grabbed Björn and forced him to take half of the wishbone and make a wish and then we pulled.
He got the "you get your wish" half of the bone.
I was REALLY disappointed because at that point in my life every little thing was a Very Serious Omen.
And Björn smiled at me and said, "I guess you're going to get the job."
Everybody needs a man who holds his half of a wishbone and then wishes your wish, doncha think?
PS - kejn - I think that anyone who lies in a sleeping bag watching the falling star show making wishes deserves for every single one of them to come true.
