I wish....

...all the kids were gone.

See now I have to explain that because it sounds harsh but in the mind of this father the kids being gone means they're independent. It means they're doing okay. Yes, it does mean also that the house is quiet and dinner out is cheaper and cheap fast food falls by the wayside. It moves up a notch to franchises like Olive Garden and Outback and such and even the local owned restaurants.

...that I never had to explain myself.

...that I could remember all the cool lines from movies that I wanna use.

...that the wrong people weren't in charge.

...that I could think of more wishes.
