Somehow, I think the 'what if I did catch that football' premise is more realistic, too. Really, what kind of grown-ass man with a loving wife and children wishes 'he never existed (mope mope)...' unless he had depression or something and I just didn't know. There's a reason Timmy Turner wished that, you know-- that reason being he's a CHILDISH CHILD, and that's the kind of self-pitying gobshite they self-endorse.
