On occasion, I’ll notice something as if for the first time, despite it surely being there for a long time. For example, I used to walk by a building every day, and then one day I noticed a huge circular window right in the middle of one side. This couldn’t have been, you know, snuck in over night. It had to have been there before…
My only conclusion, obviously, is that I had mysteriously shifted into a slightly parallel universe, one where that window did indeed exist the whole time. Today it happened with a mannequin. Everyone claimed it was there before, but it wasn’t. (Parallel universes being a better explanation that a flaw in my unparalleled powers of observation, natch)
I wonder what would happen if I landed in a universe where my parents only had 2 kids. I’d go home (except maybe they wouldn’t have bought the house they did, as they needed less bedrooms??) and my mom would be like “ahhh who are you!?!” but I’d look a whole hell of a lot like my brother and I’d be all “I’m your son!” and man wouldn’t that be crazy?
