I wish I didn’t have any homework . . .

Where’s my homework gone?

Yey! That means I don’t have to do any homework!

Feeding my dog takes such a long time. I wish there was a quicker way of doing it . . .

Oh my gosh! How did that just happen?

Time for tea and I have — vegetables. I hate vegetables.

Hang on. Maybe I can make them disappear: I wish I had no vegetables.

Wow! My vegetables actually disappeared!

It really works!

Mom, I’ve finished my vegetables.

Oh, I have to unpack my bag. I can’t be bothered . . . hang on! Maybe my superpowers can work again. “I wish that I can unpack my bag.”

It really works!

Maybe my superpowers will last forever! Now that would be cool.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

I can’t be bothered to put toothpaste on my brush . . . Oh yes, I have superpowers!

“I wish I could put my toothpaste on my brush!”

Hah! Wow it worked again. Yeah!

Time for bed.

Wait a minute. I forgot to make my bed this morning. Oh, it’s fine. I’ve got my superpowers.

“I wish my bed could be made.”

Hang on. Why isn’t it working?

“I wish my bed was made.”

Huh?

But what happened to my superpowers?

Hmmm. I guess I’ll just have to make it myself.
