Corrupt A Wish

Granted, but you discover that you hate playing musical instruments. All that talent down the tube.

I wish the context of my writing matched my handwriting.

Granted, your writing suddenly got real bad and so they now match perfectly.

I wish I had a handwriting everyone could read and thought was beautiful, and that I didn’t have to make an effort for it to be legible.

Granted! Your handwriting is so beautiful, it's like calligraphy. Now everyone wants you to write things for them all the time because your handwriting is something to marvel at.

I wish my car didn't guzzle so much gas.

Granted, it now joins the rest of the world and guzzles petrol instead. Gas isn't something you fuel a car with

I wish I was the world's best at something.

petrol = gasoline, which gets shortened to gas...geez

Granted! You are the best at being Skilpadde, and the best at helping turtles with all their turtle needs. That's pretty great!

I wish I loved something as much as Skilpadde loves turtles. I don't think I ever have.

Oh, I totally didn't know that! Gee, if you guys only spoke English, misunderstandings like that wouldn't happen
Wow, thanks for those lovely words! I probably would've been too if I had the opportunity.

Granted, you now love turtles as much as Skilpadde does, and you do a great job helping their survival. Sometimes you realize this wasn't what you set out to do, and wonder about how you chose away what you thought would be your occupation. But you are happier than you ever was knowing that you have contributed to several species' survival and helped make a real difference. When you look at the innocent gentle turtles, you know you made the right choice. It's a hard life with lots of losses, but the rewards are nothing less than magical.

I wish I could make a real difference for turtles

Well, here in 'Merica, we must always be different from everybody else

Granted! You do all that you can for them, but you still find it isn't ever going to be enough because it's bigger than you or any one single person.

I wish the was a universal language that everyone spoke.

English isn't it? Granted, but it'll be Chinese, and while everyone now speaks it, learning to write it will take forever. Think you'll ever get all the more than 80,000 characters right?

I wish I could speak, write and understand Korean.

Well, yeah..but not really.

Granted! You speak, write, and understand Korean. However, your accent makes it hard to be understood.

I wish I could understand thick foreign accents better.

Granted, you now understand them perfectly, but since you’re one of very few, you will have to spend a lot of time translating between Engrish speaking people and the rest of society.

I wish I spoke English fluently.

Granted, but your written English is terrible.

I wish I could speak another language beyond just a few words and sentences.

Granted! You now speak fluent Garza! No one else has spoken the language for about 200 years though.

I wish I could translate any language effortlessly and correctly.

Granted, but you find it extremely difficult to keep up with regional differences.

I wish I had talent.

Granted, you can always understand elephants and make yourself understood to them. Too bad you so seldom get a chance to talk to an elephant though.

I wish I didn’t have dyscalculia.

Granted! Now you have dyslexia instead.

I wish I wasn't such a night owl.....it usually catches up to me around 2pm.

Granted, now you’re an early bird instead. An extreme early bird, who wakes up at 2 pm. Guess it won’t change things too much!
Anyway, now that you know that you're not just a night owl but "natteravn" (literally night raven) as well, you realize it's too cool to give up. That's when you stop being a night owl.

I wish my sense of day rhythm wasn’t so messed up.
