Ok, so my wife is pregnant and after getting her some lunch today she wanted to go by a store and pick up maternity clothes. I agreed, and I was hanging around the back of the store while she was trying on some things she picked out and a shelf full of baseball caps catches my eye. I go to the back and start looking at the hats and then I see they have all types of t-shirts with different things on them. They have super heroes, funny sayings, movies, etc.
I skip over most of them, and I see a Rocky shirt from the first movie. Although I never buy shirts like this, this one has caught my interest so I grab the Rocky shirt and keep looking. I can’t really find anything else, but I decide to go ahead and purchase the Rocky t-shirt.
About 3 hours later, I am home and my wife is in another part of the house. I haven’t seen her for about an hour. I head into my bedroom to get something and I see that my wife has left my new Rocky shirt on the bed so I decide to try it on. It fits well, and I am looking at it in the mirror and at that exact moment I hear “eye of the tiger” start to play from downstairs. For those who don’t know that is the theme song from the second Rocky movie I believe. This is hysterical. I head down stairs to see how the heck this has happened, and my wife is watching one of her shows that she has tivoed (she probably had about 7-10 others to choose from). It just so happens that the show she is watching has come upon a scene with that song as the background music. I tell her about it and she laughs hysterically for about 5 minutes…
What are the odds, an unplanned shopping trip, and unplanned purchase, an unusual time for her to be watching any tv show, let alone that one and on a whim I try on the shirt at the exact same moment that the scene using that song for source music comes on.
There are no coincidences!
I think I’ll purchase some lotto tickets this week
