8. Candles. Candles are hot. Candles make fire (cue the intrusive thoughts). Put finger in fire. Put finger in fire. Knock candle over. Set house on fire. Set house on fire. Put — do you see where this is going?
7. A house plant — I accidentally killed 33 of them. I didn’t do anything wrong, promise! I watered them twice a day. Every other day. And sometimes I spilled the water and I don’t know how much actually got in the plant but I manifested the idea of the water being absorbed by the plant.
6. A live gerbil. (See note about the houseplant).
5. A dead gerbil.
4. A set of extra sharp No.2. pencils. They’ll give me SAT flashbacks (the November math section was rough, you guys).
3. A plane. I asked for a private yacht equipped with a movie theater!
2. Any food-like substance. I’ve been trying out a new diet lately — it’s called Photosynthesis. I don’t consume nutrients in the traditional way, I merely bask in the sun like a lizard on a rock in the early morning. If you give me a candy cane, it’s going right to the trash.
1. A left kidney. I know mine doesn’t function fully (blockage when I was four, kidney swelled up to three times its normal size, whatever), but you don’t have to rub it in my face. That’s just insulting.
