Jon laid on his bed in his room, tossing the stone up in the air and catching it, wondering what he should wish for.
He suddenly heard a commotion out in the hallway, it was his brother and sister arguing again. Ugh, he thought, they always got on his nerves, they were always fighting with each other, and often with him as well whenever he tried to tell them to knock it off. He wanted some peace and quiet so he could think up a good wish... But wait!
Hmm, thought Jon, I could wish they were more well behaved, but that's not interesting enough... Holding the stone in his hand, he thought of his brother Mikey, a rambunctious 8 year old boy, always messy, always leaving his toy cars and army men laying around everywhere... Jon closed his eyes and said, "I wish that Mikey behaved like a shy 8 year old girl, and was just content to play tea party with his dolls and also sometimes play dress-up."
There was a flash, and suddenly the argument outside Jon's door became one sided. From the way it sounded, his sister Zoe, a goth girl of 14, was yelling at her brother Mikey, who was now very docile, and Jon assumed, girly. Jon thought about peeking outside to see the results of his wish, but then thought, no, he had one more to make.
"I wish that Zoe always dressed neatly, wearing a suit and tie whenever the opportunity arose, she would be neatly groomed and shave her face every morning and her current biggest goal in life was to find a nice girlfriend."
Another flash, and it was silent in the hallway. Jon peeked his head outside his door. He saw that both Mikey's and Zoe's doors were open. Who should he check on first?
