The other day, Spencer, Rebecca, and I were on our way to Target to pick up some much needed supplies. We made it out to the parking lot and the ubiquitous question arose: who's going to drive?

Rebecca was absolved of responsibility since her car was down by LaFortune and so Spencer and I decided to face off in a round of paper-rock-scissors, our usual decision making procedure. We turned toward each other and stated that the winner would drive. And here's how it went:

1, 2, 3....rock. Both of us.

1, 2, 3....scissors

We chuckled.

1, 2, 3....rock

At which point, exasperated, both of us shouted "I'm driving" and headed off toward our respective cars. I thought Rebecca was going to collapse from laughing so hard at our inability to play paper-rock-scissors. It's not that we are the same; it's that we're tuned to the same frequency. It's no wonder.

And in case you care, I ended up driving. I guess you could say
I won...

...before & after...
