I Can Think of Some Pretty Powerful People Who Never Admitted to the First Part

Driving home today Fiona wondered aloud whether there would be a spot in front of our building (ah, the things New York children learn to wonder about).

As we approached our building, Fiona declared "there's a spot!" But as we pulled up she saw that there was, in fact, another car parked in front of our door already. And so I continued on down the street looking for a spot.

"I was wrong, Daddy."

"Yeah, but that's okay," I assured her.

"I know," she said. "Sometimes I'm wrong."

"Everybody's wrong sometimes."

"Sometimes I'm wrong. But sometimes I'm right!"

Fair enough.
