Happy birthday!
I chose socks. I am a very low maintenance girl. Seems the easiest to purchase, wash, and store. :)
Although, I thought the invisibility cloak could be handy for robbing banks after hours...and the kangaroo would be neat to have if it's pouch was people sized and I could climb in and go for a ride.
But I'll stick w/easy this week. It's already one of those days...
I went with socks. I like useful things and I feel as though I'm forever in search of a pair of nice comfy socks. Being a runner, I've tried my share of wacky ones too. Right now my favorite pair of socks are made out of bamboo. Really. They are currently the best socks ever on my list.

Also, I might actually have this kangaroo power! I wouldn't know. I've never tested it. I don't think I've ever been within 25 miles of a kangaroo. This is a great excuse for me to move to Australia. Or the zoo.
It's not that i'm not adventurous. Sure it's not.
I chose the kangaroo in the end, it seemed like a great excuse to move to Australia- that and I just bought a couple of pairs of knee-highs the other day haha.
If I'd gone with the 7 league boots, I think I'd leave and never come back...possibly to Australia haha though I here New Zealand's pretty awesome too...
Happy Birthday Week!!! :D
Socks for sure. What's good enough for Dumbledore is good enough for me;)
The reason? I've always wanted to be multilingual. I'll be in a body cast for awhile but, in the end, I'll speak Finnish!
I also love sockdreams... and Rebecca, I hear you, because I did once receive a pair of socks for my birthday, hand-knit in my size, and they are my favorite socks ever.
Laura, all you have to do is make sure that before you jump the first time, you have learned to say, "Long drops don't hurt me!" (or some such) in Finnish! :o) From then on, you'd be golden!
I went with the kangaroo because uttering the phrase "kangaroo, your master calls" is boss. My kangaroo would be much better transportation to school than the bus.

I would just love the ability to summon anything, so the ability to summon a kangaroo called to me in a creepy whisper. Now I really HAVE to visit Australia.
I chose socks. Why? Well, because they could: a) give you athletes foot (which is sorta like wish number one without the cool leagues); b) socks could potentially be eaten by a yak - thereby causing a hairball (which may be closer to green then gold); c) you could make your foot and ankle invisible with a sock (not the whole you, but at least part); and d) you could make the sock into a kangaroo puppet and it would obey your every command!
I can't think of how the sock would teach you Finnish or grant you wishes, but there are LOTS of creative people here...maybe they have a suggestion.
:-D
Kangaroo hands down. I mean, think of the possibilities!
Happy Birthday Kristin, I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with lots of colorful socks.

I decided on socks. You can't have too many socks! Unless you can...or if they're perhaps not very good socks...or if they're dirty and/or smelly...
I voted socks.
Now the drop won't hurt me AND I can speak Finnish? Well then, I'm more sure of my choice than ever so take THAT all you kangaroo people!
While I *totally* think I made the right choice, I would never go so far as to take away people's socks and kangaroo-summoning powers. That would just be mean. And kind of tyrannical. I vow to only use my wish-granting Finnish-speaking powers for good.
Happy birthday Kristin! ENJOY!
Socks...nothing better than a good 'ol pair of warm socks.
Just finished Graceling and it was brilliant! Really one of the best books I've ever read! Can't wait to read Fire when it comes out.
