"Come on Jon think." I thought to myself as I sat next to my parents in the dark auditorium. "This is the perfect place to hash out a safety wish." I told myself as Josie's Jazz ensemble played on the auditorium stage. My eyes bounced between my sister Josie playing saxophone and a couple of her cute friends that were part of the ensemble . "Focus Jon!" My inner monologue barked. "Right now is not time to check out Josie's cute Asian friend... Even if she does look really hot in that tight blouse..." My eyes darted back to Josie and then down to the crowd in front of me. Seeing so many smartphone screens recording the concert really took me out of the music. It was like a swarm of gigantic fireflies had descended upon the auditorium, with the sole purpose of ruining from performance taking place on stage.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to try to reset myself. When I opened my eyes back up I tried to focus on the curtain behind Josie. I just needed some non-interesting object to lock onto so that my mind could be free from distractions. "So I could wish something like... I wish that for the next calendar month each one of my wishes and each one of Karyn's wishes will automatically have a safety document appended to the wish so that the wish is reversible. Hmm..." I chewed over my thoughts as I stared at the curtain. "Maybe I should clarify that the safety document be written on paper. Or maybe I add something about how the safety document works. Or... Maybe I make it written on paper and editable? Hmm?.."_ I continued to run through ideas in my head, but the more I ruminated on it, the more some sort of safety document made sense. "It will be like the MSDS we learned about in chemistry." I thought to myself as my eyes drifted from the curtain down to Josie's friend Brie. "I can't wait to start college this fall. Maybe I'll even have a shot with Brie..." I pictured Brie walking through our living room last summer wearing a sports bra and tight little shorts. The image of her toned caramel colored body was forever burned into my teenage memory. "Maybe Josie will invite her over again this summer... God college girls are so... Wait! Damn it Jon! Focus!" My eyes darted back up to the curtain and I tried to suppress my horny 18 year old thoughts.
