Wish Stories

 

When Seth was interviewed for his wish, he told his wish granters what he wanted by raising his hands in the air and screaming like he was going down a roller coaster. Then he said “I want to go to Disney World and ride all the roller coasters with my arms in the air.”

And that’s just what he did. Laughing and telling jokes the entire time. He probably taught Mickey Mouse a few funny lines while he was there. His favorite ride was the Jurassic Park water ride because it dropped really fast, making everyone scream. That was a great memory for Seth. Now he tells the story this way, “Tabby looked like she was crying, mom was screaming and dad looks like he was about to puke!” The picture (above or below) shows that Seth’s description was pretty accurate. Seth, of course, just looks happy.

This trip, Seth was a little short for the big roller coasters. But his mother, Kristi says he got the scream of his life on his own smaller ‘roller coaster’ ride. If you close your eyes, you can almost see him holding his hands in the air and screaming. Or maybe he’s laughing. Either way, he had a great time.

Seth tells a joke of the day – every day. His latest joke is “How do you fix a pumpkin? – A pumpkin patch!”

That’s funny. So is Seth.
