ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

THROUGH THE DOOR

I was catching up with a friend over dinner the other night and she recieved a phone call from her college roommate. First, a little backstory. When my friends roommate was younger, she accidently ran through the family's glass sliding doors. After that happened, the family put decals on the doors to help prevent this from happening again. Well, the roommaet called my friend and told her the following short story:

She was at her parents home for the school break and was doing some cleaning for her parents. She decided to clean the glass sliding doors. She had taken off the decals and put them aside and continued to clean the glass. She got side tracked for a few minutes because of the family dog. She went back into the kitchen (where the doors are) and saw her sister in the back yard. As she walked in a fast pace toward her sister, she had forgotten about the glass doors and smashed through them, again.

If she didn't learn the first time or the second time I wonder how long until she'll do it a third and fourth time. Thanks for the funny story!

Definitely a funny story! I figure this could easily happen to a dog or a small child, but to a college student?? Either she literally cannot see glass, or she's exceptionally forgetful! Thanks!
