You’re writing a birthday card.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday and a great year ahead.

Halfway through wonderful, the pen slips.

The word is still readable. You look at it for a second, then finish the sentence and add your name.

The card looks fine.

You look at the word again.

There’s another card in the drawer. You take it out and start over.

This time, wonderful looks right.

You put the first card in the trash.
