Lady Luck: No Such Thing

I was leaving for work yesterday and my neighbor was out front beaming from ear to ear.

“Hey there!” she said as she waved me over.

“Look at this!”

She was pointing at something on the ground laying on top of her welcome mat.

Me: “Look at that! I guess Lady Luck was on your side this morning.”

“Yes she is!”

She proceeded to pick it up and was almost hopping with joy.

Too bad it didn’t last long.

Her face fell as she said, “It’s going to be a long, long day.”

Awww. I felt bad for her.

But couldn’t resist cracking up in the privacy of my car.
