A Day in The Life

PHOTO PROMPT © Miles Rost


Oh to be a fly on the wall.

How many times did he desire to be an insect of the order Diptera just so he could trap his cheating partner?  Too many to count but in the end a private investigator got him the desired results.

And last night he celebrated.  There was lots of drinking involved and raiding the attic to get that heirloom lamp.   Grandma always said it was magical but no one paid attention to her.

Grandma also warned him to choose his words carefully.

'I wish to be the fifth Beatle'.

Bloody musical neophyte Genie!

    Dear Subroto,

    I guess the genie couldn't distinguish between beetle and Beatle? Clever story. Of course I had to wait until the video ended to comment.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      The genie was a musical philistine. Thanks for your comments Rochelle I have no problems with readers listening to the video first ;-)

    Oh man! They always say to be uber careful in how to word your request. How many have ended up far from their desires? Too funny!

    A fly and a beetle/Beatle, nice! Wishes are notoriously tricky things, especially when lamps and genies are involved :-o
