When I was in the back of a car one rainy day, one of my mother's friends remarked that the windshield wipers were hypnotizing. I had always wanted to know what it felt like to be hypnotized, so I would stare at the windshield wipers in every car I got into. Never worked. Every once in a while, I catch myself still doing it.
