This is a direct lift from Mumsnet. I'm not putting it on a Games thread, as I know that there are a lot of us who don't look at games, but I found it funny and cheering, and I think we all need something like that just now!

You have to make a wish, and the next poster grants your wish, but in a way which ruins it. S/he then posts another wish. For example:

I wish I could speak another language fluently.

Poof! Your wish is granted. You can speak another language fluently, but it's Klingon.

I wish I could go on a mountaineering holiday.

Poof! Your holiday is booked. In East Anglia.

I wish I had long, blonde hair.

Poof! Your hair is long and blonde. And growing on your feet.

I wish my garden was tidier.

Poof you can speak only Italian but none of your family and friends can.

Poof! You're on holiday somewhere warm. Dallol, Ethiopia to be exact.

I wish I was able to speak Italian.

You do have an umbrella which isn't broken. Trouble is you're not strong enough to open it.

I wish I could write a novel.

Poof! Jane10, you didn't eat the nougat, you just sat on it and now you have to get it off your dry-clean only white trousers.

Poof! DanniRae, you have a dishwasher. He's been to a training course in washing dishes before he got out of prison for GBH, and is called Wayne.

Poof! Beechnut, you can walk in heels. Unfortunately you are currently crossing a cattle grid.

(Sorry, just clearing up loose ends!)

I wish I had an umbrella which wasn't broken.

Poof! You're on a cruise. On your own, in the middle of the ocean. In a 5 foot dinghy.

I wish I had a snazzy, little red sports car.

Poof! You live by the sea, but because of climate change you still live in the same place and the sea has come to you.

I wish my house was tidy.
