Wish #1...

In the field of student affairs, during ice breakers & team builders we often get asked some strange questions. One question that always stumps me is, "If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?"

I am never good with answering this question. I can not usually come up with anything so brilliant that I would want to use a wish on it. Today, I came up with one. I would wish that swearing was not allowed in casual conversation. I find it so frustrating to walk down the street and hear:

• "Really? That un-f^&*ing believable."
• "Yeah, that exam was a bunch of s^&*."
• "What the f%^& is up with that?"

What a waste of the English language. Can't we come up with something better? Can't we set a better example for our peers? Say, "NO" to swearing.

Or...I could be like Solomon and ask God for wisdom. That might not be a bad option either.
