“I wish I were” … hmmm…why does that short phrase keep tickling something in the back of my mind? This week’s Weekly Writing Challenge has had me asking myself some questions. What is it about those four short words that triggers a plethora of childhood memories? Where does it say that quartet will give me a good feeling? Who would have thought those four syllables could bring a smile to my face? When was it that I first heard that catchy lyric? Oh yes, of course, I wish I were an Oscar Myer Wiener. What else could it be!
I remember singing this song during a school presentation in sixth grade. I loved the song so much,it was one of the few I actually remembered to this day.
