I know it probably isn't the best idea to sit a glass of milk on the end table then walk out of the room while my 2 year old red-head still occupies that very same room - you know what happens next.
If "I knew it" would happen, then why did I still choose to do it. Why do I leave the screwdriver on the floor right next to me when my kid is anywhere in the house? I know if there is the slightest chance she can, she will get into it. I do this with the dog too. Leave a bowl only to come back to see the dog helping you finish it.
I guess it hit me the other day when I had one of those moments that I thought I could walk out of the room to grab a napkin and thought, "naw, she won't do anything..." only to come back to her grabbing a fake tree in the corner of the room. She really had to reach to get it but she managed. The tree was falling in the blinds and the food was ready to hit the floor (the dog was ready and waiting). I ran back in saying out loud "I knew it"... Then that little voice in my head said "then why did you do it?" -SHUT UP!!!
My point: If we know it is probably going to turn out bad - why do we insist on doing it. Why do we continue to watch and listen to the same garbage and put the same junk in our bodies. Those bad habits only end with either you or someone else saying "I knew it".
If you know it, do something about it now.
