What is the luckiest thing that ever happened to you?

I take attendance by asking the students a question.

What is the luckiest thing that ever happened to you? (previously 2017)

Traditional:

• got into Swat
• life!
• opportunity to go to college
• born in a first world country
• winning Harry Potter Broadway tickets
• I once found two packs of gummi worms in a vending machine
• that I was born at all (the odds were against me)
• my cat wandered onto our porch
• won a raffle

Some people wanted to defer the question:

• hasn't happened yet
• opportunity met preparation
• idk I'm grateful for most things that have happened to me
• lots of things
• don't believe in luck
• TBD
• can't think of just one
• not sure
• yes
• not lucky

Begrudgingly I acknowledge that yet again someone claimed that taking this class was their luckiest life event. I can't be bribed! ... at least not so openly.

My favorite was definitely "Fell backwards off Willets bannister, landed on feet" --- whoo, what luck!

This post's theme word is hotsy-totsy (adj), "just right; perfect" or "haughty; pretentious." That is my preferred hotsy-totsy way of descending staircases.
