Surrender Dorothy

I commented to a friend the other day that I don’t understand the appeal of Labubus (these goofy-looking dolls that are currently popular with adults). I was similarly baffled about the Stanley cup craze. But it occurs to me that grumbling about and judging fads that aren’t my jam is too easy and, really, just unnecessary. I’d rather talk about the fads you DID enjoy. Did you collect something that was “in” at the time?

Right this minute, is your bed made? Is it normally made? Do you make it or does someone else?

Wow! You just found a genie lamp. Cool! You rub it and the genie pops out and tells you the deal: He’s a pretty straightforward genie. No evil genie shenanigans on his part, but he’s also not going to allow any shenanigans on your part. That is, he’s not going to grant you world peace by killing off all the humans or anything like that, but any “I wish for infinite wishes” kind of cheat-the-genie tomfoolery won’t fly. There is a catch, though.
