"What's so bad about being a girl?" asked Karyn.
Cee-Jay thought and then said, "You're trying to trick me. I know how you are."
"Me? Trick you?"
"Yes, you want me to say something bad and then you can talk about how I need to appreciate girls."
"I wouldn't do that..."
"Of course you wouldn't. Look, Karyn, it's not that there's anything wrong with being a girl, but it isn't me. It's like you turning blonde from the first wish, except that being blonde only means people make a few blonde jokes and being a girl means my whole life is different."
"If we made you Jon, you'd turn 10. And we can't do that anyway, since your Mom wished you to be Cee-Jay and 17 and we can't change either one."
"At least I can make my life easier. Hell, at least I can find out about my life. I wish I had a DVD video describing my life, and that it lasts a half hour and appears out of thin air without changing reality."
They blinked as if their eyes were irritated and a disk fell onto Jon's lap. He put it in his player, turned on the TV, and began to play. "My life story, literally," he said.
