Do OverMy husband and I went on a date tonight. We belong to a gym that has free babysitting so we tried it out. In the back of said gym is a pool table. Now, I grew up with a pool table, yet never seemed to find anyone to teach me the rules. As I was thinking about it tonight, I don't think that I ever even asked anyone to teach me how to play. My husband finds this fact hilarious as he never had a table, yet knows all of the rules and beats me every time.
This evening we decided that he would give me a few pointers on how to play the game. I am tired of him wiping the table with me, and I would like to win a game now and then that doesn't end with him hitting in the 8 ball by mistake. Thus my winning by default and not by actual merits of my own.
As he was showing me how to aim the cue stick and "put a little English on it", I would inadvertently mess up my shot in some way. My oh so thoughtful husband would offer to let me have a "do over", so I could try the same shot again. It seems like a good teaching tool, but did I actually learn much? By the end of our date, I was making better shots, but I found that I became frustrated when he would suggest I needed to try that one again.
I think it was a commercial for an insurance agency or something that first introduced the idea of a "do over". There are quite a few times in my life that I would have loved a second chance to make things come out right. But then we are faced with the inevitable question of would it have really made a difference? I think that I will just have to try and live my life in a way that I can be proud the first time around because the oh so wonderful idea of a "do over" doesn't actually exist. I am proud of who I am and what my life is like, but if given the chance... I definitely would go back and change a few things. Hey, I'm human right?
