My Beautiful Accident

eman This is for my son, Ian, my beautiful accident. Today he turns 18.

When someone says accident, we automatically think of something bad happening. Nope, sometimes accidental things are the most wonderful things.

My favorite top 5 accidents:

#5 - Searching for help with agina (chest pains, usually in the area of the heart) Viagra was discovered.

#4 - Trying to create a new refrigerant, Teflon was accidentally discovered.

#3 - A man (Percy Spencer) walked past a radar tube and it melted the chocolate in his pocket: microwave was born.

#2 - While trying to find a cure for food poisoning, penicillin was discovered - via mold.

#1 - Ian Smith, born in 1992. If he wasn't conceived, the world (especially mine) would be a less happy place.
