Make a Wish and Have it Horribly Corrupted

Back on the old KSP forums, there would be a game, where somebody would make a wish, and then the next poster would corrupt it, and then make another wish.

For example:

I wish for an apple.

Next user:

Granted, you get an invisible, tasteless apple that shall not quench your hunger.

I wish for a new phone


First wish: I wish for a new computer mouse
 
Granted, you get a mouse with a builtin computer. The computer has no ports, no keyboard, no wireless connectivity, and a little screen on the back. The only way you can type is with an on-screen-keyboard that you can't see because your hand is covering the screen while you're holding the mouse. Also, it takes 1 AA battery, that lasts about 3 hours under load*.

*I was gonna put less, but even with fairly liberal power consumption estimates for a computer that size, 1 AA battery would still get it a few hours

I wish for something sweet for dessert

Granted. You get a milligram of sugar.

I wish for hello
