If I had a magic wand for one day … because why not dream?

Spreading SARS-CoV-2 would mean spreading rainbow sprinkles

Every human would be sent an infographic on equity vs. equality

All public servants would be given a heart of gold, and those that already have one would be given a gold star sticker and a lollipop

Neighborhoods would be redesigned into a place of free play (and look like Candy Land)

Getting anywhere would mean riding eco-friendly magic carpets, complete with top-of-the-line stereo systems (subwoofers not allowed)

The sky would be tie-dyed with the boldest sunset/sunrise colors

All animals would live through the day, be matched with a cuddle buddy, and given a stash of their favorite (vegan) snacks (examples include tempeh burgers, chips and guac, roasted chickpeas, and peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets)

Public safety would be guaranteed, and everyone would be armed with a pouch of pixie dust

The air would smell like freshly baked banana bread in the morning, popcorn in the afternoon, and yellow curry in the evening

Sharing anything on social media would be limited to paper, crayons, and chalk
