When Wishes Come True Flashcards
Hmmm… ugly as heck but I can still sell these… oh, actually I could use you in the kitchen… come on Chapel Thrift Shop, your mystery boxes are usually better than this! Cough up the good stuff!
Not another one of those junk boxes! How much are you paying for those things?
not a lot
we’re trying to save up for a camper here, and you’re what? paying 10, 20 bucks for a bunch of junk we don’t need?
It’s my money, and I resell most of it, I’m even running a little profit.
You’d be better off getting a second job, add to the crap pay you get down at the bar
Yeah, you might have mentioned that once or twice.
Maybe if you at least wore something sexy the tips would be better
Maybe you should be ashamed of trying to pimp out your wife!
I really didn’t need this after the day I’ve had. Any coffee left?…. How do you expect me to concentrate when you’re breathing down my neck?
Come on, I wished for something really good, not an old lady necklace…
(She unwraps the next bundle and inside is a
roll of cash. She gasps, and quickly hides
it)
what are you going on about now?
Thought I was unwrapping a nice old depression ware plate, but turns out it’s all
chipped.
yeah, old stuff’s like that. crusty, dull, used up. fat
i wish you wouldn’t talk to me like that!
I’m so sorry sweetheart, you’re as beautiful as the day I married you
what?
I.. I don’t know why I said that
is it true, you know, what you said?
um, well, i mean, you’re a lot older, but you’re not too bad looking. for someone your age and all. if that’s what a guy is looking for… do we have anything sweet to go with the coffee?
I wish, you ate all the donuts. Even the chocolate one I bought for myself.
a man’s gotta eat. and you shouldn’t be leaving empty donut boxes on the counter like that, this place is a pigsty
[drops box]
what the hell
The box was empty! I swear to God, it was empty this morning!
you’re losing it maggs
No, no… I specifically remember it being empty because I was so mad at you. I buy one donut for myself, and eleven for you, but you just take and take whatever you
want and never think about me— that maybe I like donuts once in a while too, but don’t scarf them all down in one day. You know I like to save mine for a little treat.
then eat the ones you just wasted, I’m not eating off that filthy floor
But… how… like how did they get here?
you dropped them!
I mean how did more donuts get in the box? You ate all of them yesterday. You
remember eating them, right?
yeah. so you must have made another trip to dunkin
i didn’t – I didn’t!
obviously you – don’t go raising your voice to me
Did you… you’re not doing that thing they talk about on Tiktok are you? You know, like gaslighting me, making me think I’m going crazy?
that’s what’s probably scrambling p your brain, watching those stupid videos all day
But what else could be going on? I mean, I wished that you’d stop being so mean to
me and suddenly you’re saying something nice, and I wished all the donuts weren’t
gone and suddenly there’s donuts, and I wished I’d find something good in my thrift
box and…
and what?
nothing
if gaslighting is pretending someone’s crazy, what’s it called when they’re actually crazy? Because here’s what I’m thinking–
i wish brandon could talk again
what money?
I wish Brandon forgot I ever said anything about finding money…
What kind of crack are you on? A necklace granting you wishes?
It’s true, I swear. How do you explain not being able to speak?
Something was caught in my throat, happens all the time.
I put it on, and suddenly everything I wish for comes true!
I’m not kidding here, I think maybe you’re getting a little sick in the head. With
those sisters of yours, it’s not really surprising…
