I wished, and then blew out the birthday candles.
As the smoke rose from them, my partner leaned over my shoulder.
"So what did you wish for?"
My sister made that disapproving sound with her throat that I hate.
"If he says what it is, it won't happen, everyone knows that!"
My partner stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry.
"I don't believe in that crap!"
"And yet you believe in wishes? Hypocritical much?"
As the two of them argued and made everyone else uncomfortable, it was clear my wish wasn't coming true.
I wasn't growing any taller, dammit.
