I wish I could speak Cat as well as my own language.

You can't turn back.

Hey Presto! You speak Cat. Unfortunately you now know what your kitty really thinks of you and you get rather tired of hearing it! (I am a cat servant myself and love them, but....)

I wish I could get my house deep cleaned. 

Ta Da!!! You get a coupon to engage a whole team of cleaners at a reasonable price. But, alas, although your house is cleaned immaculately, you won't be able to find where you put so many of your favourite things, not for a long while whilst you live in a muddle.  

I wish that I could get rid of all these newspaper clippings I've kept for future consultation?

Tada! You're invisible. Sadly, now nobody believes your real. Whenever you try to talk, you scare people half to death. And when you try to communicate via writing, they believe in you until they find you're asking them to believe in something they can't see. Then they think it's a joke or worse. Sadly, most people are like that.

I wish I had ten times as much time to get stuff done.

Hooray, you do suddenly have ten times as much time to get stuff done, but it comes at the cost of having paid work to allow you to afford the extra time you need to get stuff done. 

I wish that I could turn back time to when I felt more active.
