The Distracted Electric Can Opener
My electric can opener is on a shelf inside a kitchen cabinet. Today I got it down to open a can of pineapple for a Ham and Pineapple sandwich. I tried three times to get the can opener to work. It's pretty old. I thought it had finally stopped working. When I reached to unplug it, I saw that I hadn't plugged it in. I felt stupid, but I was glad it still worked. The problem was with me, not the can opened.

Later on, I decided to have an Italian meal. A small salad, homemade garlic bread, and a great tasting canned ravioli. I sprinkle course ground black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese on top of it. But first, I had to get the electric can opened down from the kitchen shelf again. This time I thought, "I'm going to pay attention to what I'm doing!" I immediately plugged it in and started to open the can of ravioli - then I noticed the can had a pull tab.
