Once, while carrying a bowl of snacks and a glass of soda to my room, I believed I could actually drop the glass, reach into the bowl and grab a snack, eat the snack, then catch the glass and take a drink, everything perfectly unharmed. (I was 7.) I dropped the glass and took a snack and ate it. Then, I reached for the glass, but it was too late. The glass shattered upon the floor and I was grounded.
