So, Of Course

This morning I posted about pointy things, and how they like to harm me.

I went to a water park with my family today. We have these passes that let us get in half an hour before general admission. It was really nice. There was no one really around. With me and my brothers, there were only two other people in the whole wave pool. We had time to hit the lazy river with no one else around :)

But I have to tell you something you will probably not believe. But that doesn't make it less true, just more infuriating.

This happened right after we arrived. We were literally in the park less than ten minutes.

We dropped our stuff off on some poolside chairs, got down to our bathing suits, took off our shoes and headed for the wave pool. Four steps away from our chair I felt a sharp pain in my foot.

"OW" I hollered in surprise. My family turned around to look at me. I didn't see anything immediately wrong with my foot, so I looked on the ground where I stepped.

I stepped on a dressmaker's pin. In all of the world, in all the of the places to be, I found the ONLY POINTY THING AROUND and stepped on it.

Sigh.

  2. I can't tell you how many times I've felt like that -- out of ALL the possibilities in the world, I happen to be the one to attract THAT one.

    Gotta love Reality.
