Hmmm ... I'll make it shorter this time - I promise :) And I'll combine the two threads wishes.
How's this?
"I wish my D-in-law would get out of new age psychology and not let the 4 year old run wild and hit people. Of particular concern, the child likes to go out to the yards in the neighborhood which is strewn with twigs and hit people with them."
POOF - Trying to take the path of least resistance in dealing with the lad, you organize a "pick up the sticks" party. Your reasoning is that if the twigs are removed, your grandson will have nothing to hit people with. The neighborhood children excitedly compete to see who can pick up the most twigs. First prize is a science set.
Your grandson works hard to pick up as many twigs as possible, sometimes stealing from other children and bullying them to get them to "hand over the sticks." His mother upon hearing this praises the industriousness of her son, leaving him more ill-mannered than ever. Your grandson's twig pile dwarfs the other children and, because the other children have given up and dropped out, he wins first prize. When he wins, he grabs the science set from the judges hands and without a thank you, races from the room and out into the back yard.
Several hours later, you smell smoke. Your grandson has fallen asleep in the backyard and the magnifying glass from the science set is sitting near the now burning pile of twigs. Frantic, you grab your grandson only to see that the fire has quickly spread to the back of your house. You run to a neighbor's house and call 911.
An hour later, a fire engine is parked outside of your now severely damaged house. Your grandson is sitting innocently on his mother's lap and you listen to her tell him what a brave boy he is. She turns to you and says "You know, I think I've been too harsh with this little munchkin. Life is too short." She tickles him and he giggles. "This episode made me think about a lot of things. I really need to go deeper into new age psychology - I think I'm going to order the $500 tape set of Wayne Dyer's teachings and start listening to them every night. And" she turns to her son. "I think that I need to go easier on this little one. I was thinking about what you said - that he shouldn't hit people - but you know what? He should get a chance to do whatever he wants. The world is his oyster!" She turns to her son and heads towards the car. As they walk away, you hear them talking: "You've had quite a scare! How about Chuck E Cheese tonight?" His eyes light up and he yells at the top of his lungs while clapping his hands. As you watch them pull away, you feel the beginnings of a huge migraine. It is going to be a long night.
WISH: I wish that I were president of the United States

Well, at least the Chucky Ch ease part couldn't happen. She mostly feeds them organic Vegan.
poof.......you are an instant success as a third party candidate. But winning takes millions of dollars and bribing people in high places. You find some international companies, Middle East powers and questionable interest groups to back you. You manage to win. Now is pay back time and you find all you decisions as Prez are made for you by your supporters. You are held a virtual captive and threatened with disclosure of your past under-the-table bargains. You see the country being taken over by the people who gained power through you. Then a strange figure appears and offers to help you keep power if you make an alliance with him. Soon you go on TV and explain why being stamped with '666' is the patriotic thing to do...
I wish it would stop raining.

Ooooh - eerie :) Is it too late to take back my wish?  . I like the detail in your scenario.
OK - POOF: It has stopped raining according to your wish. Days turn into weeks, months, then years. The earth is in a panic as scientists mine the seas, trying to turn salt water into fresh. Huge swaths of the earth's population die as wells, lakes, and rivers run dry. Eventually, clouds disappear from the sky and the earth descends into chaos. The ecosystem is disrupted as fish die, crops fail, and all animals die. The last human being dies on March 22, 2015 in a bomb shelter deep beneath the earth. He lies slumped in his chair, his tongue puffy and lips cracked. The seal on the back of his chair reads "President of the United States." Four days after he dies, the sound of thunder is heard in the distance ... a new day has begun.
WISH: I wish I had a new pair of sandals.

Cool imagery!!!! I love it!
Ok POOF: You packed lunch and a quite opulent one at that. For starters you have La Bisque de Homard (Lobster Bisque) and a freshly prepared Ceasar Salad with homemade dressing. For the main dish, you have Braised Lamb Shank and Shredded Lamb Tenderloin, served with summer vegetables. You even packed desert: a succulent Raspberry Souffle.
You set your place at the company cafeteria with crisp cloth napkins, real silverware, and china. Your mouth waters as you head towards the refrigerator and pull out your lunch bag. You unzip it ... only to find a tupperware container filled with liver and its associated juices, beer nuts, and capri sun. Someone took your lunch! Frantic, you rush into the lunch room. Your supervisor is sitting at the table with empty dishes surrounding him. In horror you realize that your lunch bag, which is identical to his, is sitting on the table open before him. As he scoops the last bit of the souffle into his mouth you overhear him say: "My wife has outdone herself ... I didn't even look at my lunch this morning ... lamb and lobster? That was the best lunch I've ever eaten. And I thought I was going to have to eat that awful liver bake she insists on cooking every Sunday ..."
You sigh and slowly head back to the kitchen. On the way back, someone bumps into you, and the container of liver and juice spills all over your new crisp white shirt. The beer nuts are open and you gasp. You are allergic to nuts ... you feel your face begin to swell.
WISH: I wish that I lived in California.

[>>>pre poof<<< I had to laugh after reading about the horrible demise of humanity only to be followed by, "I wish I had a pair of sandals"
(((poof)))you live in California, right next to my sister in law in fact. It's alright, she is fairly normal. You both sit around watching "What's With That House?" on HGTV and get inspired. Now you are working on a house built out of toothpicks and Legos and all the neighbors think that you have lost your mind. You've put your creative writing on hold but in the back of your mind your are planning on a new novel. The plot, a murder mystery about a community that begins to think odd thoughts about the new people in the Lego/toothpick home.
I wish I had a pretty new leash for my dog.

poof.....the kids in your classes find out your dog needs a new leash. They all decide to make one. Some are braided, some quilted bands, leatherwork, woven re-cycled plastic, ribbons and lace, painted and embroidered leashes. Now you have to use a different one every day so the kids won't be offended.
I wish the kitchen floor would mop itself.

I get a little "ADD" sometimes - don't mind me ...
POOF: You open the plain brown box, curious as to who would have sent you package. Inside, you see a large white spray bottle marked "Never-Mop-3000." The instructions indicate that if it is sprayed on a surface, it will break and ingest all dirt particles automatically. Curious, and slightly bored, you spray a small amount on your kitchen floor. Miraculously the spot disappears and the floor looks clean. Hesitantly you touch the floor. It is dry to the touch. Throwing caution to the wind, you spray the kitchen floor with the bottle, then wait. The floor is instantly clean. You then try an experiment and brush some dust on the floor. It too instantly disappears.
The next morning, you enter the kitchen. You have no glasses on, but something seems a little strange. The phone rings and you stand in the kitchen, fielding questions from your Aunt Mae. 20 minutes later, you realize that you can feel the floor with your bare feet. Curiously, you realize that soles of your shoes have disintigrated. Grabbing the bottle and your glasses you read the fine print. "Use with caution. Will disintigrate all inorganic material." You look up in horror; all of your appliances are rusting through and your cabinets are being eaten away.
WISH: I wish that I weighed 120 lbs.

car2ner forgot to wish. So I wish I had organic stove and appliances to replace the ones that dissolved. BTW - I'm sure glad my feet are organic.

Poof You have a hybrid car but it costs you money for the next 7 years until it's paid off and then you need to buy a new car again.
I wish I was in top physical shape.

I wish it was fall.

I wish I could figure out which courses to take at college.

Wow! I take a break from CW for a little while and come back to find that the last wish I made inspired all kinds of creativity from rgod! Wow, that was quite a story! It was very good! But I was also thankful for Still4gvn's vote of confidence in me! Thank you!
POOF! You've figured it all out. All your courses are in the field of entomology--the study of bugs. With a very boring math class as an elective.
I wish I my son would win the nominally competitive "triathlon" his gym class is doing tomorrow. It doesn't sound like it, but it's really a kind of "out there" wish, one that is extremely unlikely IRL. My son isn't at all athletic, but he enjoys things like that. He's 13, and at that age he doesn't want to do anything to embarrass himself, and he's never had success at anything athletic. But he said today, after he watched the first half of the class do it, that it looked like fun, he probably wouldn't win, but at least he wouldn't do as bad as he thought he would. So my wish is that he would surprise himself and win.

POOF: Your son works harder than he ever has in his life; running, swimming, and lifting weights. He comes home every night exhausted but determined. Finally, the day of the triathalon arrives. It is sunny and cool, perfect weather for this type of event. Your son tries his very best, coming in 2nd place at the end of the first event. As he moves quickly into the fourth event, he runs into difficulty and falters. Soon he is close to the back of the pack. Although he feels discouraged, he regains his focus and makes a determined effort to complete the event. Many of the other contestants become tired by the end of the second event and start to lag, but your son is getting his second wind. Suddenly, in a burst of speed, he runs past contestant after contestant. At the last moment he crosses the finish line in an extraordinary burst of speed. He wins by a fraction of a second. Your son is stunned at first as is the rest of his class when the teacher lifts his hand, declaring him the winner. His friends rush over to him, laughing and slapping him on the back. As his teacher hands him the medal, tears form at the corner of his eyes. He struggles to keep his emotions in check as turns the medal over and over in his hands.
Well ... I just don't have the heart to ruin this wish for you son and I hope that he gets to experience something like this one day - even if it is not tomorrow! So, I'm breaking the rules for this thread just this once and ending this on a happy note :) I pray things go well for him tomorrow!
WISH: I wish that I were a professional filmmaker who produces award-winning, high-quality documentaries.

had to laugh at the entomology. a friend's husband works in that field and wears T shirts with all kinds of bugs. the tiles around the fire place have dragonfly pics, napkins have butterflies. they're not weird, just playful. wonderful Christian folk.
poof.....Rgod starts putting vids on YouTube and gets thousands of hits. She does an artistic surreal documentary on Carleejoan's study of insects. It approaches the subject from the point of view of the captured bugs' families and draws dark parallels to Iraq's war casualties, human trafficking and the devastation wrought by global warming. Oprah does a show on the egregious suffering of insects. The press calls for an investigation and possible impeachment. Rgod wins acclamation and awards. Carleejoan is glad she lives in Canada not the States.
I wish we could find someone to lead the men at Bible study on the weeks dh is busy (it's a mixed group, but the women want to meet separately on those weeks and they have a leader).

This was too funny! I laughed out loud when I read it. A cross between Michael Moore and Wild Kingdom. I love it!
POOF POW ALAKAZAM: Edwin Jones agrees to fill in for your husband. Everyone is overjoyed and soon he volunteers to help with the newer Christians. Because his teaching seems to be solid, the pastor gives his ok. However, Edwin's lessons to the new Christians are quite different because he very stealthily introduces heresies into the bible studies - heresies taught by his old church, which was a cult. In a very short time, he leads the younger christians astray and sows seeds of doubt about your husband and the pastor's teaching. Eventually the pastor finds out and removes Edwin, but not before several of the newer Christians drop out of church because of the confusion.
I wish my neighbors sound system would mysteriously disappear so that I can finally enjoy my home before 11 p.m. and not be subjected to loud music every night. I've never heard so many different drums and guitars - all in one song - in my entire life. ... Wait a minute ... it is quiet - I think they've gone to another party (or maybe a club?) ... or ... maybe my wish came true!!!! Wow - ok ... now I wish for a million dollars .... uh .... nothing's happening .... let me check my pockets ... $3.52 ... not a million ... I hear my neighbors coming back ... let me go back to my original wish. Disappear sound system ... disappear!!!

POOF! The sound system is gone. But now the "boys in blue" are at your door wanting to know if you know anything about the disappearance.
I wish hmm...trying to think of one...oh, I know! I wish those people that Edwin Jones confused at Still4gvn's church would get things figured out and all come back.

POOF! All flights have been re-directed to the airport nearest your house. All the people on all the planes are coming to your block party. Hope you don't run out of refreshments.
I wish my kids would sell lots of cookie dough for their school.
