Make-A-Wish Employees Share the Weirdest Requests They’ve Received

I’m so glad there are people out there who do this job, because I think it would be way too depressing. Kids who are sick and unable to live a normal life deserve some happiness and smiles, though, so it’s awesome that people take it on.

That said, I’ve always wondered whether or not they get requests so strange they’re not able to answer them – so thank goodness for these 16 people who are willing to wish and tell.

16. This kid had the right idea.

Nephew had terminal brain cancer at 8. His make a wish was to see lions. Small community so he got mass funding.

Ended up sending him to Africa for a bunch of Safaris and bunch of helicopter rides. Had time of his life.

Make a wish is now the organization I donate to the most now.

15. Some kiddos just know what they like.

Former junior genie. The vast majority of wishes are pretty common: Disney, wwe, trip to Paris or Japan. Because MAW is locally funded (your donations go to your community), depending on your region, you can get some pretty fancy wishes.

So I wouldn’t say this wish was weird, only that it was different. A kid was obsessed with dukes of Hazzard and the car was going to be at a fair along with some stars. We threw everything at him and still stayed way within budget. He got limo to and from, a bunch of ride tickets and tokens for games, we got him special guest seating and one on one time with the stars.

I’m sure he had the time of his life. But altogether, it was a few hundred dollars and a couple of favors. If the fairs attitude when working with us was anything to go by, he was treated like an absolute king. I remember that case fondly.

It doesn’t have to be MAW but I strongly advise everyone to spend some time working with an organization that gives back. They’re some of the best memories. It’s very humbling and inspiring work.

14. Something only a kid would wish for.

The cutest one that’s been requested is a trip to New York to ride the subway along the entire subway line and buy all of the model subways at the store.

When the dad heard, he rolled his eyes and said that they’d just gone to New York recently and said he expected either that or a visit to the zoo to feed the penguins. They were by far my favorite family to work with and a very loving, goofy one at that.

We haven’t done their wish send offs yet due to covid, so it’ll be nice to see them again once this is all over. I hope when he goes on his trip he’ll be treated really well by the subway conductors.

13. Bless his heart.

Oh my god. This dredged up a long forgotten memory. I don’t remember the details all too well but I’ll do my best.

So, a friend of mine did some work experience a while back. I’m not sure if it was make a wish, but it was a similar organisation anyway. They got a request from some kid that wanted to marry his favourite anime waifu. I’m serious.

The people in charge of this (I’m not sure what they’re called) were completely clueless and had no idea what a waifu was so they just went along with it. They ended up getting in contact with the game developers of said waifu and tried to make something happen. They wanted some sort of video or message from the anime girl addressed to the kid. The developers refused and said that would not be possible. In the end they had to get him a different wish.

Man that was a strange one.

12. No pressure, Mickey…

Not a wish granter, but a parent of a MAW kid.

When we went to the MAW house for my son’s star raising, they had a board with kids photos and their wish. One that made me laugh was the little girl that wanted to “hear Mickey Mouse burp.”

11. This definitely qualifies as weird.

Make-A-Wish Worker’s son here. One time my dad had one of the kids he worked with request that they get feet pictures from some popular twitch streamer.

Obviously he had to turn it down, but offered the kid the ability to meet said streamer but he turned it down. Only cared about the feet. Weird.

10. Being a sweetheart pays dividends.

Friend’s young son asked for a spider costume. Not Spider-Man. Spider.

No one could find one. Next day was Halloween. A volunteer spent the night making him a spider costume. He loved it. A few months later they asked him what he wanted and he said he already got his wish.

They were so touched that he or his parents didn’t ask for anything else that they sent them to Disney for a week, he got to spend a game day with his favorite baseball team with his own locker and uniform (even had to see the trainer to get taped up), same thing for his favorite football and hockey teams, flew an airplane, all access water park. Met his favorite “celebrities.”

One was actually what most people would consider a celebrity. If they find out anything he likes or is interested in they hook him up.

9. Can you really blame them?

I used to intern at Make-a-Wish Foundation in Pakistan. It usually caters to kids who are really poor. The most common requests I’d see were tractors, air conditioners and refrigerators. It just dawned on me that those requests were made by their parents.

I don’t recall any legitimate requests since they were very few and far between. I guess the farmers saw this as a rare opportunity to get access to nicer goods and I don’t really blame them because they would break their bones working for a 5$/day wage (at a stretch).

8. Ugh why are some parents?

Former Wish Granter here!

A big part of the job is helping the child decide on their wish. The final wish has to be feasible of course so you’re there to make sure it isn’t too outlandish, but, in my experience, kids often don’t initially think “big enough.”

It was not uncommon at all for a kid to request something super small like going to Chucky Cheese, and we’d have to build the wish out from there.

Also we had to make sure parents didn’t try to influence the child’s decision, which I saw many times

7. So wholesome ugh.

Pretty tame but my mother was a wish volunteer and had a kid in the late 80’s who wanted to meet Lassie and Timmy.

Kinda unusual thing for a kid to be into by that point

6. That’s my kind of kid.

My aunt works for make a wish and told me a kid wanted to meet Voldemort.

Apparently the kid was of the opinion that since his cancer was terminal he should join the death eaters.

5. Well now I hate that guy.

My friend’s daughter requested to met Dog the Bounty hunter, but he declined.

4. I love when people are into it.

My favorite one I’ve seen was when someone wanted to go on hermitcraft and meet everyone, and they actually did it.

I mean, ofc hermitcraft would say yes, half the fundraising they do is for feeding america and MAW.

3. That’s a good dad right there.

My brother works for a beer distributor and kid’s dad came in and requested some beers for his son, who was 16 and might last another 6 months, if that, and the kid just wanted to get drunk before he died.

Make A Wish wouldn’t grant that wish so his dad had to do it. He even paid full price, though my brother gave him a discount.

He wasn’t going to do it, figured it was a scam to get free beer, when someone called from Make A Wish and told him the situation and that they couldn’t give an underage kid beer, even if it was his last wish.

2. Is it weird or super cool?!?

I think my favorite one is one where a young boy around 10 wanted to shoot a car with an RPG and watch it blow up.

They set him up with squad of real marines and a ballistics team in the LA desert and he absolutely got to blow up cars with an RPG for a day. His picture was him in his specially made marine camo uniform and helmet posing with the RPG.

I honestly don’t know how they got away with it but that kid knew what he wanted and he got it.

1. Probably still not the kid’s idea.

I am a Make a Wish mom (my son had his wish in 2006) and I volunteer as a wish grantor. I work mostly with the emergency or quick turn around kids. Kids who can’t wait for their wishes. The weirdest request we got was from a father who wanted to travel to Mecca.

There was no way for his toddler son with a brain tumor to go there or anywhere at that point. We had to delicately explain that this needed to be a wish for the son. We ended up getting a nice TV/video/audio system for their living room where the boy spent his last days.

I don’t even know what the proper response is to some of these. My goodness!

How would you have reacted in this situation? I want to know in the comments!

Weird Ways That Your Day Could Be Worse

It’s a cliche we’ve all seen a million times. The characters find themselves in some awful spot and one of them moans “How could this get any worse?” or “At least things can’t get any worse.” Then BOOM, it starts pouring rain, or a siren goes off, or shots start firing through the air.

The lesson this trope has taught us is that no matter how bad things are, we should never assume they can’t drop yet another level.

Check out these ten examples of how a normal-to-bad day can suddenly get worse in the most unexpected of ways.

10. All natural

The machines have already begun to mock us. Their takeover is imminent.

9. Hush puppy

From puzzled to muzzled in a single snap.

aww snap from Wellthatsucks

8. Wash it out

Plumbers be like “Well there’s your problem right there.”

So, how’s your day going? from Wellthatsucks

7. Testing my patience

Well, at least you learned how to drive yourself up a wall.

Waited 5 hours in line for my drivers test, got to the front only to tell me that they’ve reached the maximum amount of tests for the day. 16. from Wellthatsucks

6. See food

Oh come on, that’s just cruel.

Kid thought he was getting a new pet from Wellthatsucks

5. Bespectacled spectacle

It’s just a prank, bro.

So… My brother made a "pRanK" and did this…we dont have a key. from Wellthatsucks

4. Wide open spaces

I guess at least you don’t have to worry about social distancing.

My college labs have been canceled until further notice… and I was not included on the mass text. No wonder there’s no one here from Wellthatsucks

3. For the record

Getting a vinyl delivered by postal service to some kind of farm. What year do you live in?

A vinyl record. Thanks USPS! from Wellthatsucks

2. Why so salty?

She’s either having a very bad day or a very good one.

Does she know? It’s funny AF from Wellthatsucks

1. Like tears in rain

I’ll have what he’s having?

Great hangover from Wellthatsucks

So before you go asking “How could things get worse?” use your imagination a bit. Odds are, there are lots of ways. Lots. And you probably don’t want to invite them.

The Canadian Version of the Invisibility Cloak Is Here

Whenever the question “what superpower would you like to have?” comes up, there’s always at least one person who wants to be invisible. With a generation (plus) of kids lusting after Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak among us, I have to guess that still applies with kids today.

I mean sure, you might hear and see some things you wish you hadn’t, but Harry also got some seriously good and fun use out of his.

If you’re hoping to grab an invisibility cloak – or in this case, a shield – of your own, well, listen up.

The tech is called Quantum Stealth, and was developed by Canadian camouflage design company Hyperstealth. The material is as thin as paper, inexpensive, and requires no power source, which is pretty amazing.

It’s not as good as Harry’s magical tech, but honestly, it does a pretty good job concealing stuff.

To make it work, they utilize the same approach as lenticular lenses, which is used in those paintings that appear 3D if you look at it a certain way.

The material bends light in a way that makes only things very close, or very far away, visible -so any object or person behind it at a middle distance becomes invisible. It can bend light from mid- and near-ultraviolet to infrared, and once you add in the fact that cameras largely don’t work outside the visible light spectrum, the effects of the tech are even more remarkable on film.

Since it does distort the background, though, people would know something was being hidden, just not what.

The idea uses Snell’s law, a well-known and straightforward physics principle that basically says that every material has a specific refractive index, a quantity related to the speed of light in that material compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.

You can see it at home using a glass of water and a spoon, since the latter will appear bent to the naked eye.

Basically, when light moves between two materials, the angle at which it is moving will change depending on the refractive index – this new tech is basically constructing a blindspot.

He’s also published a series of videos on how it works, and it’s pretty crazy to watch.

People Who Just Don’t Know What Is and Isn’t Cake Anymore

There’s no reasonable way to enter into this topic, so I’ll just say it: Twitter is being overrun by cakes in disguise and nobody is OK.

Why did this happen? How? That’s for future historians to unravel.

All we can do right now is sit back and marvel at all the cakery fakery overtaking our bakeries. The skill is takes to create such horrifyingly detailed edible facsimiles is far beyond my mortal comprehension, but it sure is fun to watch, and there are no shortage of jokes.

Beware ye who scroll past here, you’re about to question everything.

10. Taking the cake

Witness the absolute peak of man’s hubris.

9. Serrated blade runner

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Shoes made of sweets. I watched toilet paper split to reveal its sumptuous core. All those moments will be lost in time, like cake in rain.”

8. Sweet release

Soon we will all be cake.

7. Dog-gone

If I cannot have the chocolate, I must become the chocolate.

6. Cover versions

It’s all cake all the time.

5. Absolutely vicious

This is the series that just keeps on giving.

4. Beware the ides of starch

These are the signs that precede the fall of an empire.

3. Out of touch

A rallying cry for our moment in history.

2. Self-defense

Will the witness for the prosecution please cake the stand.

1. Soft reboots

This is the kind of retconning that I can get behind.

It’s been a confusing year, but at least this is the kind of confusion that’s delightful and funny and not just straight up horrifying. We need more of that.

What do YOU suspect may actually be cake?

People Who’ve Had Very Bad Luck This Summer

How’s your summer been thus far? Not great?

Because the whole year has been a series of disasters. Cool, cool, yeah, that sounds about right. But believe it or not, things could probably be even worse.

Need proof? Look no further than this gallery of suck posted by Reddit users who are most definitely NOT having a great season. They range from the funny to the heartbreaking to the “How does that even happen?” and they serve as a strange reminder to count our blessings.

Here are ten people who definitely need to give their summer a do-over.

10. Very special delivery

How in the hell do you “accidently” throw something on a roof?

Worst. Delivery. Ever. (OC) from Wellthatsucks

9. Oldies but moldies

“Oh boy, can’t wait to get back to work with all my very valuable – aw, f***.”

Leather Shop Opens After 53 Days Of Quarantine Only To Find All Of Their Products Had Molded from Wellthatsucks

8. Singin’ in the rain

Have you checked for corporate espionage? ‘Cause I think you’ve got some leaks.

Heavy downpour. This is my office right now. from Wellthatsucks

7. Baby you’re a firework

It went from McMansion to ghost story real quick.

Neighbors house got hit by fireworks last night from Wellthatsucks

6. The final countdown

You definitely need to burn that board.

5. Split level

I’m no expert but I don’t think that’s how that’s supposed to work.

This looks expensive from Wellthatsucks

4. Dancing on the head of a pin

Just sell the house, that’ll become somebody else’s problem.

Dropped this after buying today. Put it all back in, stood on a pin, dropped it again. from Wellthatsucks

3. Pocket sock-it

Your big toe will be well-protected from all disease.

Drove 45 mins to the store thinking I had my mask in my pocket. It was a baby sock. from Wellthatsucks

2. Jacked up

I don’t even know what model of car that is but I’m guessing I’m too poor to pronounce it.

When your expensive car gets ruined from Wellthatsucks

1. Deep fried

I can smell this picture.

Really wanted pizza, fell asleep from Wellthatsucks

Movie Villains That People Find Very Sympathetic

The best villains are people you can relate to, and maybe even be a little sympathetic toward. We’re all the heroes of our own stories, of course, so most “bad guys” believe they are doing things for the right reason.

If your audiences end up rooting for the bad guy to win, though, you might not be doing something right – and in these 16 cases, the line might have been crossed.

16. I’d react the same if someone dropped a house on my sister and stole the family shoes.

Wicked witch of the west from The Wizard of Oz.

Dorthy can get bent. Dropping that house on her sister!

What up with that?

15. That makes sense to everyone, really.

The probe from the Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

All it wanted to do was talk to some whales.

14. I think we can all agree that idiots are running Jurassic Park every single time.

The Indominus-Rex from Jurassic World.

You made a living kill-machine, with abilities that far exceed those of your measures to control it, and expect it to live its life in a small cage like a cat? (Heck, even cats won’t stay in cages)

13. “Antagonist” and “bad guy” aren’t necessarily interchangeable.

The Puppet Master from the original Ghost in the Shell movie. All he really asked for was asylum.

There is a scene where, before going on a rampage, it demands asylum and rights to a trial to which the humans pretty much ignore. It’s only after demanding its rights then being denied that it decides to go guerilla.

12. It’s kind of hard to blame him.

General Grievous from Star Wars.

His people were massacred by the Jedi for reasons that were false. He was then physically crippled for the rest of his life (our side of his exoskeleton) and was told that the Jedi were to blame.

He destroyed as many as he could and took their weapons as a trophy to exact his revenge for the Jedi ruining his life and pushing his people to the brink of extinction.

11. He’s just doing his job.

Hades from folklore.

Not in any specific movie but just the fact that he’s always a villain despite him just chilling in the underworld, doing his job, and not causing mass genocide, like the other gods, the worst thing he did was kidnap a teenage girl but compared to Zeus, THE HERO IN ALL THESE DAMN MOVIES he’s not that bad.

10. If that’s not a whole mood…

Poison Ivy from the Batman films.

All she wants is more plants and less destruction.

9. They’re not not saying that, either.

Doc Ock from Spider-Man.

I’m not saying that I’d sooner rob a bank than beg for grant money, but I get where he’s coming from.

8. If he would just stop kidnapping people.

I kind of understand the Ice King’s motives from Adventure Time.

He’s just really lonely and he wants to be friends with Finn and Jake and he wants a gf. However, kidnapping people isn’t cool.

He’s also just a really great character. He started out as simon and then slowly went insane after he found the crown and put it on. He forgot his entire identity and became the ice king.

7. All of the Batman villains have decent backstories.

Dr Freeze from Batman.

The guy just wanted to find a way to save his wife.

Batman even once tried to help him with it.

6. Like, all of the moments.

Not a movie, but Robbie Rotten from LazyTown.

As an adult, you get it, you want sleep, you want cake, your want quiet. You want to be lazy.

There were moments where you could be like “I feel ya bro.”

5. A nice, chill family vacation RUINED!

The dad from Dirty Dancing.

He was just trying to keep his daughter, Baby, from f%cking the local trouble maker, Johnny. And Johnny looked like he was in his mid-30s. He was actually supposed to be 25, but those were some ROUGH years.

His daughter looked like she was 15. She was actually 17. And, again… her name was Baby. I mean… BABY.

But still… that’s an 8-year age gap.

COMPLETELY justified actions by dad.

4. If that doesn’t sound blissful…

The Grinch.

He just wants to live alone in his gaff with a dog and the who people won’t stop bothering him

3. That was a pretty raw deal.

Hector Barbossa and his crew from Pirates of the Caribbean.

They found a bunch of gold coins sitting around, traded them as currency like anyone would, and were severely punished for no good reason.

2. If you really think about it.

I agree with Ken from the Bee Movie. His gf got pissed at him for trying to kill a bee something that he was allergic to, meaning it was potentially life threatening.

Frankly, Vanessa was terrible for dumping him because he tried to kill an insect. It’s like getting mad at someone for refusing shrimp because they have a shellfish allergy. (I know he’s not the main villain, but he was the secondary one.)

Yes, Barry was a sentient bee, but Ken never knew that. I would also go a little nuts if a bee was slowly replacing me.

1. More and more as we get older.

Chief Inspector Dreyfus from the Pink Panther movies.

Maybe I wouldn’t have gone as far as he did, but I understand his frustration.

I have to say, I can see the point on most of these!

What villain do you think may have been in the right? Tell us in the comments!

This Simple Math Equation Illustrates That If You Want More Pizza, Order 1 Large Pizza, Not 2 Mediums

When you’ve got a lot of people to feed and you’re ordering pies, do you go for two 12-inch mediums instead of one 18-inch large, since 24 inches is bigger and therefore more? If so, you’re not alone.

I totally do this, and I’m guessing that’s exactly what pizza places want you to do (hello, more cash), but thanks to one intrepid Twitter user willing to do the math, we can all make the correct choice and go back to ordering one big pizza, saving ourselves some dough in the process.

I mean, assuming everyone can agree on toppings. Pepperoni ftw.

If you’re math-challenged like me, you never would have figured this out for yourself, so I’m going to include a little math-splanation below the tweet.

Photo Credit: Twitter

And this guy, who’s finally getting his money’s worth out of that degree:

Photo Credit: Twitter

The diameter of the large pizza is smaller than the combined diameters of the two medium ones, but the large has the bigger total area. In case you slept through geometry, you calculate the area of a circle by squaring the radius (which is half the diameter) and multiplying by pi (3.1415 etc.).

The area of the 18-inch pizza is 254 square inches – a full 28 square inches larger than the area of two 12-inchers, which is 226.

But but but but! If the crust is your favorite part, you might want to take this into consideration – you do get 33.3% more crusty goodness with the two mediums.

Even though the math is technically not that complicated here, the internet’s mind was still collectively blown.

Photo Credit: Twitter

I mean, how could you not be?

Photo Credit: Twitter

It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for the pizza joint!

But it definitely makes me want to go order a pizza.

“These Are All Cakes” Are Weirding People Out and We Don’t Disagree

By now we’ve all seen the spooky deep fakes. You know what I mean?

Faces replaced with other faces; eerie video transformations that are becoming more and more commonplace.

But there is perhaps an even more pressing issue at hand. Beyond simply knowing who really appears in what video, how can any of us be sure what is and isn’t cake?

See, there’s been a rash of videos on twitter of what appear to be everyday objects which are then sliced through to reveal that they are made entirely of cake. Suffice it to say, nobody trusts anyone or anything anymore.

12. Original deep cake

Look at this parade of fakery and tell me you’ll ever believe your eyes again.

11. Take a bite

Sweets for the sweet.

10. Let them eat cake

My god, this goes back further than we could have ever anticipated.

9. Foamy philosophies

Bring back the pyres, there’s witches to burn.

8. One in a million

Got yourself a winning dating profile there.

7. The cutting truth

We must all face the facts someday.

6. Desperate times

Cake is in the eye of the beholder.

5. Adorable murder

This is fine.

4. The cakening

Join us! Join us! Join us!

3. High art

Can you appreciate it?

2. So much winning

This has officially gone too far.

1. Wipe away your fears

Big if true.

We must arm ourselves now with the tools we need to tell cake from thing as best we can. Our future is at stake. Or should I say…at cake?

What do you suspect may actually be cake?

Prove you’re not a cake by telling us in the comments.
