"I thought of all the pie I had eaten in my life and wondered how different things might be if only I had wished upon the points. Had I gotten my wish at the age of eight I would still be rounding up mummies in Egypt, luring them from their tombs and trapping them in heavy iron cages. All subsequent wishes would have been based on the life I had already established: a new set of boots, a finer whip, greater command of the mummy language. That’s the problem with wishes; they ensnare you.”–David Sedaris
