Wishes gone awry

The other day, Hannah and I were sitting on my bed - probably negotiating a bedtime - when we had this little interchange:

(I believe the conversation started by talking about spiders, which was apparently the subject of a former wish made on a star... That all of the spiders in the world would die. Have I mentioned that Hannah really dislikes spiders?)

H: But it hasn't happened yet.
M: (silently trying to conjure up a response)
H: I even waited 6 or 8 weeks, 'cuz you said some wishes take longer to come true.
M: Ok...
H: But it's been almost a year since I made that wish, and it still hasn't happened. I thought maybe after 8 months it would happen, but now it's been like 10 months.
M: (Still got nothin...)
H: I even said the whole poem!
M: Well, honey... Some wishes don't get to come true...
H: (ignoring me, and cutting me off) Maybe it was a world, and not a star.

I am sure that's what kept that wish from coming true (...not the fact that spiders are an unfortunate but essential part of the food chain).

Watch out, spiders, she's gonna locate a real star soon... And then it's GAME ON!
