NUMBERS
From Dangerous Angels: The weetzie Bat Books (Paperback) by Francesca Lia Block"Okay," Weetzie said. "Then I wish for an infinite number of wishes!" As a kid she had vowed to wish for wishes if she ever encountered a genie or a fairy or one of those things. Those people in fairy tales never thought of that.
"People in fairy tales wish for that all the time." the genie said. "They aren't stupid. It just isn't in the records because I can't grant that type of wish."
"Well," Wetzie said, a little perturbed, "if this is my trip I think at least you could say I could have one of these wishes come true!"
"You get three wishes," the genie said.
"I wish for a Duck for Dirk, and My Secret Agent Lover Man for me, and a beautiful little house for us to live in happily ever after."
"Your wishes are granted. Mostly,"said the genie..."
Just so you know this is just from the beginning of the book it doesn't spoil anything!

When I was a kid I always wanted an infinite number of wishes too.. Then I grew up and so did all the magic in my dreams :) Your snippet got me some fond memories... Thanks!
Don't think I like a genie who says, "Your wishes are granted. Mostly." That "mostly" leaves a lot of wiggle room.....

I love that you quoted Francesca Lia Block. She's my favorite author and I don't see much of her mentioned on blogs. ^_^
Sounds like a good one!
Lol, that little "mostly" has me concerned and thinking "ruh roh!"
