Rachel’s comment about coincidences reminded me of one that happened to me a couple days ago. I was thinking about Sharpie markers and how much more convenient they would be to use if they were retractable. Those of us who constantly have a baby on the hip need things like that to be accessible with one hand only. There aren’t enough hands available to remove the cap, use the pen, find the cap again, and put the cap back on. So I decided that I would invent a retractable Sharpie marker and that I would become very rich. However, not even 2 hours later, I saw a commercial on TV for the retractable Sharpie! I was excited, despite my dashed hopes of being a world-famous inventor. But I guess I’ll just have to settle for knowing that I’m psychic.
