LOL! Build an addition and put the pool table in there along with a keg of beer, an extra bathroom and a comfy couch. Then all you’ll have to do is shuck food through the door a couple of times per day.

Umm….

yeah.

Maybe.

:-/

I’m saving up for a pool table these days, because once we get that I’ll never have to see my husband again. Worth a shot anyhow. LOL

Susan — but maybe your family likes each other well enough to still come together even if the house is huge.

Melli — I know that right now you want to be lonely in your own house, but you’d have missed the kids if they had stayed in their rooms!

Grandma — yes, it could. I had a heck of a time keeping it from doing just that!

Beautifully written. I love the moral of this tale. Beware of what you wish for. Sometimes we just don’t know what’s really good for us.

What a lovely story! I dream of a big house (last year we were a family of five in a two-bedroom house, oy) but I wonder if I wouldn’t be the same — would I go looking for the rest of them once they weren’t all piled up on me? LOL

The classic curse of the wish that came true!

LOL! I thought that story might have happened to me … for a minute… one time… but I was wrong! *sigh*

A wonderful “careful what you wish for” tale. This short story could easily expand in a lot of directions to make a longer one.

Thom – -she got what she asked for, but do you think it was what she wanted?

Excellent story Q. I love your take on this. It is good to know that Alaina got what she asked for. Well done
