Popcorn for Breakfast

Another of lifes synchronicities.

I'm pondering, How many people eat popcorn for breakfast? So, I'm working this morning at the Korean office. Here I am, a round eye, needing a translator...for all of my patients. The culture is totally different and very suspicious of round eyes...especially doctor round eyes. So anyway, the girls are great...still some barriers with language, but they are fluent. They give me all sorts of korean food while I'm working. In the past it has been some strange looking melon type fruit. Tea that smells like toasted bread. Today a patient brought in a strange rice cake with long bean type items in it. Of course, I TRY everything and it was excellent. But I will never know the name of any of these items b/c the girls cannot translate it.

So, later in the morning, I'm smelling something familiar. Popcorn. Popcorn for breakfast. Well how strange...but wow...it's smelling very good. I love popcorn, why hadn't I thought of popcorn for breakfast. It was awesome. On the way home, I'm wondering, how many people have figured this one out.

I get home and a girlfriend drops by....she says, without prompting... "I had the most wonderful popcorn for breakfast".

What ARE the odds?
