A viklit Creation |
If I could be anything I’d be. . .
If I had three wishes they’d be. . .
If I could go anywhere in the universe I’d go. . .
If I could contribute one great thing to this world, I like it to be. . .
Here are my answers:
. . . I’d be me, only a little taller!
. . . they’d be to have four wishes just in case the first three didn’t work out.
. . . I’d go to another universe just to see how big things really are out there.
. . . a line of bright, entrepreneurial, philanthropic descendants.
And now *Drum Roll* my A-Z Theme
But wait, revealing it by just saying what it is, isn’t much fun. How about one those clever riddles that my friends over at The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrow?
I’m long and short and carry loads far bigger than most things my size.
I twist tongues, delight people who see me, and reveal so much about the inner life.
When I’m in good company I’m exciting, but when I’m not, I soon lose my sparkle.
I have a very large family and a long history.
What am I?
Clarissa Draper says
I didn't know Uncle came from that word. Cool!
Darby Karchut says
Oh, this is so great! So impressed with your A-Z challenge!
Cecilia Robert says
hm…"they'd be to have four wishes just in case the first three didn't work out." love this. 🙂

I love the "if" word. It's so powerful. When connected to other words it can take on such positive meanings. Here's the raspberry to the negative meanings it can have!
Misha Gericke says
If's actually one of my favorite words. I adore it in the phrase "What if…". Not so much in "If only."
Linda Jackson says
"If I had three wishes, I'd wish for four."
I'll remember that if I ever get three wishes. 🙂
S.K. Anthony says
OK, I came back…
I'm so bad. A kindle/Nook? A laptop? A pen? lol I'm so desperate with the need to know… #AmPathetic 😀
C. Lee McKenzie says
I've been trying to visit your blog, S.K. No luck. It keeps spitting me out!
DMS says
This is a fabulous riddle! I am going to guess a storyteller- however, I am still mulling it over : ) ~ Jess
Medeia Sharif says
I'd wish for more wishes.
I'm thinking your theme has to do with language and its complexities.
michelle says
I love your "IF" musings….
And your riddle got my brains in a knot…
C. Lee McKenzie says
As always I so love to hear from each of you. I answer you individually via email, but for those who are sensible and do not want to be overwhelmed by my messages, I come here.
@Southpaw Thank you. I truly believe our children are the most valuable gift to the world.
@Mark we need to talk! You are brilliant.
@Suzanne I love this little word.
@Nancy congrats on those 100 followers. I'll stop in and see what you have going on in the way of celebration.
@Viklit This is one of my favorite Hops. Thanks for coming up with it.
@Al Diaz You are one major Dragon Spirit! All of your "ifs" speak to me.
Al Diaz says
If I could be anything I would be the sea.
If I had three wishes they would be inner peace, inner peace and inner peace.
If I could go anywhere in the universe I would go to the Sun
If I could contribute anything to this world, I like it to be respect. Respect for women, respect for each other, respect for nature and wildlife and resources. Respect.
Powdered Toast Man says
T-Rex, that is my guess.
VikLit says
Love your ifs!!
Nancy LaRonda Johnson says
Love your last wish especially. So is your theme riddles? I'm not good at those, especially on days like today when my sleep has been lacking.
BTW, I'm having a giveaway to celebrate 100 blog followers. 🙂
Suzanne Furness says
If, such a small word but one filled with endless possibiliies.
Mark Means says
I was thinking the answer might be "words"…but I'm just reaching here 🙂
"If" is one of my favorite words…especially paired with "what"….
M Pax says
Sparkle? Fireflies? I need more coffee, too.
If is the best question to ponder. 🙂
Southpaw says
Love your last if!
My guess for the A-Z is bugs.
S.K. Anthony says
I'm very BAD with riddles so unfortunately I'm no fun… err, one more hint?
IF, small and powerful and full of hope. Love it.
Lexa Cain says
I think everyone wishes for more wishes – and they never seem to work out right anyway, although your wishes are so sweet, I hope they do.
Congrats on the great theme, and I'm stumped by the riddle. 😛
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Hi Lee … the Power of If .. if only .. but I'd be me – not sure what I'd do if I was someone else!
Your riddle .. I'm not good at these any time of the day … riddledy riddle – animal antics A-Z???
Cheers Hilary
Natalie Aguirre says
Loved your what ifs. Not sure what your theme is but I know we'll find out.
SA Larsenッ says
Aw…you'd be taller. I'm sure you are your perfect size. 🙂
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Too early in the morning – I have no idea!
And I'd be just me as well.
Angela Brown says
The power of if…such a tiny, mighty word.
And I think my brain is just not ready for your "riddle me this." Too early and no caffeine yet lol!!
