Did I waste my one wish?

I was driving my dad to his physical therapy, and there on a narrow two-lane stretch of road as a slow-moving vehicle hauling landscape equipment.

After trailing this vehicle for six or seven minutes. I declared out loud, I sure wish that vehicle would move over and let me pass. And, lo and behold, it pulled over to the shoulder and motioned for me to pass. Sometimes, wishes really do come true.

Then, I realized how trivial this wish was. Why didn’t I wish for 4.7 billion dollars instead?

We probably often wish for things that come to pass without thinking what else we could have had. What are some of the things YOU wished for and got that really weren’t all that great—and, what should YOU have wished for instead?

Do you think I wasted my wish?
