Luck of the un-Irish
It is a good thing that I am equipped with a good sense of humor, because my life is Murphy's Law. Something always goes wrong at the most inopportune moments. I have had three flat tires in my entire life. The first time I had a flat tire I was 16 and was causing trouble. I was out later than I was supposed to be and I had lied about where I was. Not a good time for a flat, especially because I had never changed one and it is much harder in the dark. My second flat tire was when I was hanging out with my little brother. I took him to the arcade and played air hockey for much too long. It was cold and drizzling when we got back to my car. I thought it was supposed to be a decent day, so I was completely inappropriately dressed. I was furious, swearing, cold and wet, but I managed to change my tire in heels. Today was the third time I have had a flat tire. I noticed it right as I pulled into work. I had an exam right after work today, so I was a little worried about getting the flat fixed. Luckily things worked out, but seriously, can I ever catch a break or a little luck. I may not be Irish, but I look Irish. Doesn't that count for something?

Oh man! That's crazy. I've only had one, but of course it was trouble. I ended up missing work. Well, I actually had one when I first started driving, but my dad changed it for me before I even knew about it, so I hardly count that one. Hopefully everything will work out from now on!
When did you say your boss was bringing his son to Hero's? Maybe I'll be there...
I've totally gotten caught in horrible moments. My sophmore year of prom I went to a friends cabin that was almost an hour away with no adults, so of course my mom wasn't going to let me go. So, naturally, I lied. The next day I had a volleyball tournament and I was late. So my coach called my mom, who then called the mom of the friend where I was supposedly staying at, and she told my mom I wasn't there. Then, I was in deep deep trouble.
