My mom said this repeatedly to us when we would be stuck in high school traffic. It piled up so quickly that had we left for school 2 minutes earlier, there would have been no traffic at all, and we would not be late for class.
Well, Mom. I am sorry I used to mock you for saying that.
I'm also sorry that I never believed you.
2 minutes DOES make a difference.
Scenario #1:
About a month ago, had my shower been 2 minutes shorter, Quincy would not have been in Corbin's room. Reese would not have pulled Quincy off the crib.
Quincy would not have suffered horrible pain and required a visit to the ER for her arm being pulled from it's socket.
Scenario #2:
In the ER, had we spent just 2 minutes longer in the waiting room, Quincy's arm would have popped itself back into place before she was admitted (only to be told "good news! She's fine, it popped itself back. But you did the right thing bringing her in, I'll go write up the discharge papers")
Yeah. I'll BET you think I did the right thing taking her in.
You just got $446.00 for a "good news, she's fine".
Good thing for insurance, it's only going to cost us $175.00.
Two minutes.
