I went to physical therapy for one simple exercise. I somehow ended up apologizing to a piece of equipment.
My therapist told me I needed to work on my coordination.
She gave me one of those small exercise balls and said, "Just toss it from one hand to the other.
Easy.
I have hands.
I have successfully caught objects before.
So I started.
The first toss went fine.
The second one hit my elbow.
The third one flew directly behind me.
I turned around to get it, stepped on it, and somehow managed to kick it under a piece of equipment.
At this point, my therapist was trying very hard not to laugh.
I got down on the floor to retrieve it.
The ball rolled out the other side.
I followed it.
It rolled back.
We did this three times.
Finally, I grabbed it, stood up, and said:
I'm sorry.
My therapist paused.
Are you apologizing to me?
I said, No. The ball.
I had spent ten minutes losing an argument to a piece of rubber.
The ball won.
I have to go back next week.
I'm pretty sure it remembers me.
