> And just to prove that I'm an irrational human, for the last 21 years every time I pass the spot where I found the wallet I can't help but look around for a lost wallet, as if it's some magical spot where the universe deposits lost wallets.
My dog does the same thing. One day years ago he caught a rat, and that's the first place he darts to every time he goes outside. He thinks its the magic rat spot.
My beagle does this with every sidewalk spot where he’s ever found a half-eaten chicken wing in his life - just in case.
I've often joked that we humans are very much like dogs.
But for some reason it's never taken well when you tell a new parent that raising their baby is going to be a lot like raising a puppy.
Smart dog!
Dumb rat.
