Carol Perkins: Things that are bound to happen Carol Perkins explores the certainties in life, which go far beyond the time honored death and taxes short list The next earlier Carol Perkins column is Carol Perkins: A Cluttered Mind There are some things we can count on happening to us. For me, there are many! Here are a few I bet we all have in common. When you take a child to a restaurant that supplies him with coloring sheets and crayons, you can count on having to retrieve at least two of those crayons from under the table. One by one, they roll off the sides, and you will slide from your seat in the booth (if you're in one) and feel around on the dirty floor in the dark for those missing crayons. Sometimes you kick them from under the table so you can reach them. You can also count on picking them up more than once. You can count on leaving home and as you drive away wondering what you might have left turned on or what you might have forgotten. Did I turnoff the coffee pot or unplug the curling iron or make sure the commode isn't "running"? When I came home this afternoon, I smelled my hot rollers! At least once in your life you are sure to leave a sack of potatoes in your pantry or in a drawer and in a few weeks smell an awful odor coming from somewhere. You will look for a dead mouse, but not find him. Finally, after an intense search, you will find that rotten potato and gag as you remove it from the house. Bound to happen. When you are in a rush and traveling on a local highway rather than an interstate, you are bound to get behind a driver who is in no hurry at all, but pokes along, surveying the fields on each side of him. If you get a chance to pass, there will invariably be a line of cars coming at you. When you finally do pass, you will find yourself at a stoplight once you reach town with that car right behind you. If you are painting, you are not going to be able to avoid smearing a little paint somewhere that did not need to be painted, like your clothing or your body. Guy can paint all day and never get a spot on the floor, ceiling, or himself. I pick up the paintbrush and it slaps me. Another predictable situation concerns cell phones. If there are two people in a room and one is obsessed with the phone, then there are three people in the room. You become the third wheel because if that phone rings, the other person WILL answer it and talk to the caller whether it is important or not, and you might as well take a hike. I can't count how many times this has happened to me. With some people, I can't complete a sentence without the interruption of a cell phone. It is impossible to go to the grocery store and buy nothing but what is on your list, if you make one. I can go for three things and spend a hundred dollars. Last on my list is the one that really annoys me, but is bound to happen. I can count on a tall man wearing a tall cowboy hat sitting in front of me at any country music concert I attend. It happens every time. One time I asked the man if he would take his hat off and he politely refused. The last time I saw George Strait, both the cowboy and his girlfriend wore big hats. I paid for only a glimpse of him. What is bound to happen to me is probably bound to happen to you, too. After all, we are all basically alike to be so different!
