| It's all in the mind |
Ata has been discovering the Power of the Mind.
Last night, a redhead fell on her. Well, toppled over and very nearly fell on her. And before anyone asks, "Now what was a nice girl like you doing in a bar like that on a school night?", the answer is: Not that kind of redhead. It was a very-hot-light-on-an-extendable-pole-with-three-legs kind of redhead, not the looks-great-in-a-miniskirt sort.
How does this relate to the Power of the Mind? Well, Ata had noted the slightly unstable base on the redhead, and had envisioned herself, standing peacefully nearby , all to unaware of the danger until - KA-LATTER! The light collapses on her and she has to receive emergency first aid to treat burns of varying degrees (Did I not mention the light was Hot?).
Of course, the light stayed happily in place until it was Ata's turn under the spotlight. When all was quiet and no-one was looking... KA-LATTER! Over it goes. Fortunately, Ata managed to escape Fate by being just a little too far away for the light to land on her - but it gave her a decent fright nonetheless. "I am sorry!" wailed Ata. "It was my fault! I ENVISIONED it!"
"Next time," suggested an also-startled watcher, "Envision me winning on a scratchie ticket."
Ata has been trying. {rubs forehead mysteriously} Scratch the little squares, my pretty.... |
