WALK

When I was in junior high, my mom and I were downtown Edmonton for a doctor's appointment. As we came to the crosswalk, I noticed a sign above the button: AUDIO CROSSWALK. You may already know this means an audio signal is given to help visually impaired folks navigate the intersection (beep beep or obnoxious TWEET TWEET TWEET etc. in our town, depending on the direction) .

I didn't know that then ... but did that slow me down? Assuring Mom that I knew how to handle these kind of sticky urban living situations, I confidently put my mouth close to the sign and announced (loudly, since traffic was noisy), "I'd like to cross the street now."

From this anecdote, which of the following would you guess is true?
a) I frequently discovered "errors" in textbooks during my public schooling.
b) I only read instruction manuals as a last resort.
c) I think "Fake it till you make it" is a great philosophy.
d) All of the above.

Oh yeah, and e) I drive my ultra-thorough, follow-the-instructions, take-your-time husband crazy sometimes. And f) It takes me less than two minutes to choose a rental, and the rest of the time in the video store is spent tugging on Mitch's sleeve and sighing loudly.
