"OK, but why are you crying?"asked her husband.
"Today while checking the lastnote, it makes me crying."
’Husband curiously: ‘What’swritten in the note that makes youcrying?
’Wife: ‘Listen’
My parents love smart phone verymuch.
Theycare smartphone so much that
sometimes theyforgetto careme.
When my father comes from office tired,he has time for smart phone but not for me.
When my parents are doing someimportant work and smart phone isringing, within single ring they attend thephone, but not me even. . .even ifI amcrying.
They play games on their smart phones notwith me.When they are talking to someoneon their smart phone, they never listen tome even ifI am telling somethingimportant. So,
After listening the note husband asked wife,
Husband: ‘Who wrote this?’.
Wife: ‘Our son’.
Husbandexplodes now with emotion.
Husband: ‘But then what is sons wish?’.
Andthis iswhatson wrote. . .
Mywish is
to become
a smartphone.
Credits & Explaination
My friend Liz Maupin showed me this content onFacebook. MyWish is a stupid, surreal, maudlin,and inherently phony story; I fell in love with it. Mywish was to print an illustrated zine ofthe tale.
I asked my pal Brandon Kirkman to draw the story.He gratiously agreed. As you saw, his illustrationsperfectly complement the story's absurdity.

I don't knowwho wrote MyWish. A robot?
Please, read this story to your kids.
