I have 5 sisters.  We are scattered across the country so don't see each other often.  A few decades ago we all went canoeing with our Dad.  None of us are very experienced but we are all super excited!  Well, me and sister 4, Stacy, share a canoe, Dad and Stepmother share one and the other sisters share a couple more canoes.  Almost immediately after we depart a set of sisters flips their canoe!   We all giggle and wait for them.  I think Dad and Stepmother flip theirs.  Again, we all giggle, wait then continue.  Halfway through the other sisters flip their canoe.  Lol...Stacy and I are bratty and begin to boast about our skills (we were just lucky...we have no canoe skills!)  

We eventually get stuck in a shallow area and have to teeter-totter out because of the water moccasins.  Lol...that successful escape just made us feel more cocky.  We go down a little dip...still upright...and obnoxious at this point.  So much so, that we were looking behind us teasing our sisters and didn't see the low hanging branch we were fast approaching.  Sure enough...we flipped!  Made our sisters' day!

Karma is a Branch!
