Fawlty Showers
Misstakes
That night Dr. Deb watched a movie while I read a book.
“Yes!” I said. “The author used ‘illicit’ when she meant ‘elicit.’”
“And that makes you happy?” Dr. Deb asked me, laughing. “You’re
getting stranger every year.”
“I can’t tell you how often I find a mistake after I’ve
posted something. It’s usually something
I’ve gone over two or three times. Drives me up the wall.”
“And?”
“Her novel was published by one of the big New York firms.
It was probably proofread half a dozen times. It’s good to know I’m not the only
one who makes those mistakes.”
“The best you can do is try not to repeat your mistakes,”
Dr. Deb said. “Speaking of which, that
tie you wore today…”
Today I’ll accept making mistakes, trying not to repeat them.
