The Christmas Genie (2009)
““That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard!” Logan exclaimed. “Who came up with that lame idea?”
“Let’s be respectful of one another’s wishes, please,” Mrs. Walters warned Logan.
“That was my wish,” said Natalie.
“Figures,” Logan muttered.
Natalie is famous around school for thinking up weird stuff that doesn’t exactly make sense. Like, one time we had a social studies test and instead of using a yellow marker to highlight all the important parts of the book, Natalie took a black marker to hide all... the unimportant parts. She’s either crazy or a genius. Maybe both.
“Tell us your thinking, Natalie,” asked Mrs. Walters.
“Well, I figured that if we wished for money or some material object, we would just fight over who gets to keep it,” Natalie explained. “But there’s one thing that everybody wishes they had more of—time. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, right? And there are only three hundred sixty-five days in a year. But if the Earth rotated more slowly, or if it took longer to make a revolution around the sun, we would have more time.”MoreLess
