questionoftheday asks: What is the most interesting coincidence or series of coincidences that you've experienced? Do you think it was a coincidence, or did you see it as something more?
My answer: Well, one time when I was in 4th or 5th grade, I missed the bus to school and was terrified of telling my mom. We had biked to school together before and I saw the route countless times on the bus, so I thought "it's okay, I'll walk." We lived in a gated community right off of a major street, and I got about as far as the end of that street (right at the intersection just before a huge bridge) when I realized I didn't know the way
at all.
As I was debating whether to go straight or turn, I suddenly heard someone call me. Stopped at the red light was a mom driving her daughter to school. They apparently knew me even though I didn't recognize them at all (though I'm very bad at recognizing/remembering people), and the mom offered to give me a ride to school. I got to school safe and sound with no issue.I don't know how much of a coincidence it was, but it was definitely really lucky. I could've gotten myself really lost or picked up by someone with no good intentions.
