Cheating Genie?

Last updated on October 21, 2015

What is it with three wishes only? My first instinct was to ask for more wishes, but then I remember the Genie is an old, ancient bag of tricks and experience. So let me make my wishes more like this:

  1. The wishes are to be granted according to the intent of the wisher (me) and not the interpretation of the Genie.
  2. All the rules against meta-wishes should be completely dissolved (what was about time).
  3. I would like the Genie to retire and want the ability to grant my own wishes without any limits.

Why? Because we all know that Genies cheat, I heard many  jokes about it. So Genie, find a loophole in that 🙂

    For the past ten years, whenever someone has asked me what I wanted (from the store or whatever) my go to answer has been, “A million dollars, world peace, and a good man.” I have a good man now, so the other two can’t be far behind, right? ^_^

        • Well, I had similar wishes when I was young. Got the man 32 years ago, still the rest hasn’t happened. Maybe in another life(form) if there is such a thing. Maybe we got what we wished for the most?

  4. In my literature, it was always five wishes, but I’d settle for ONE if it would come true!
