Remember “A plague on both your houses.” I know you’ve heard it, but you might not remember it’s from “Romeo and Juliet.” Three witches also cursed Macbeth, boiling all sorts of disgusting ingredients in their pot. But those are so medieval. Here are some more up-to-date invectives you might want to hurl:
May Social Security go bankrupt six months before you turn 65.
May all your co-workers be MAGA.
May you be stuck with a Cybertruck no one wants to buy.
May your parents watch Fox News.
May you have a cat that needs to take a pill.
and this one that hits really close to home: May you have a family member who doesn’t know how to text.
