That's not the point here, this much is obvious. The point is that you have to expicitly formulate your sentence as a request for her to grant your wish, regardless of the setting. In some you don't need to say the 'I wish' but it have to be formulated and intoned as a request to the wishgranting Genie or it won't work.
