Invisi-what???

Ok, someone bit the hook and asked (regarding the Matrix post) what exactly did I mean by playing with invisibility?


I admit I've only done it once. OK, more than once and it always involves me and police cars. I am usually speeding. However my most noteworthy story comes from the day I ran a red light in downtown Minneapolis, right in front of a cop. SH$&T! My first thought was "Invisibility Shield!" Since his light was already umm, green, he was right behind me. I just kept thinking about how he couldn't see me and my car was invisible. He was behind me for a block or two and then I arrived at my destination- a parking garage. (Whew!)


Was my car really invisible? I don't know. Maybe he was having a sandwich or a chat with his girlfriend or dreaming about baseball. Or cats. Or cats playing baseball. I just know that I totally ran a red light in front of a cop and he didn't bat an eye and I was saved from a $150 ticket. (For the record, I never get speeding tickets despite the fact that I have a lead foot.)


Now that I think about it, why not play with invisibility more? What have I got to lose? I am a mom and a large percentage of my day is spent changing diapers, making sure everyone eats enough veggies and preventing my 14 month old from bashing daddy's very large flat screen in with a toy cell phone. I could use some excitement! Practicing invisibility skills could be just the ZING I need!


Plus I giggle whenever I think about it.

I am not sure how one would really figure out if works though. You can't really invite your friends over and ask them if they can see you.


This is going to be fun!
