Breaking Murphy's Law: Don’t be alarmed

    I have never missed a call time. Ever.

    Those were the seven letters that replaced the numbers 1-11 on a clock of my youth. (The 12 spot was something demonic, I think.)

    Nonetheless, I'm perpetually late for everything else.

    So it balances out.

    You know.

    Over time.

    Did I say 7? I meant 11.

    I'm also v. bad at craps.

    I never missed a call time either and I'm actually pretty punctual in real life too. In fact, my kids' eyes now start to roll every time I start saying "If you’re early, you’re..." I'm pretty sure I'm being mocked when they finish saying the motto in unison with me. On the other hand, they should be thankful that they never had a bad seat at the movie theater their entire lives. And sitting in the empty theater for 30 minutes before the previews start gives us a chance to reconnect as a family.
