Feeling lucky
Sitting on my couch watching TV, I took notice of a small blue book on my end table: "The Little Book of Stupid Questions." I decided to flip through it.
I was reading a stupid question about why they call a "navel" a "navel" when a four-leaf clover fell from between the pages to my lap. I immediately let out a gasp -- this was the clover I'd been trying to find!! I knew I'd pressed it in a book somewhere ... but had forgotten which book.
This clover is very, very special to me. My grandmother found it in my yard and gave it to me on the day of my college graduation. No kidding. The DAY of. She was out in the yard (we were grilling out), spotted it, plucked it, brought it inside, handed it to me said, "Here you go. Looks like you're gonna be lucky."
I'm delighted to have found it! And now I can finally get it framed.
