Carrots.

The carrots were on my side today.

... let me explain.  When I go into the caf to get food, I typically get a salad. And I like to have carrots on my salad.  Every time, though, without fail, the carrots are on the other side of the salad bar, and I can't reach them.  So I have to walk around.  I've even tried switching up which side of the salad bar I go to, but I never seem to remember to check where the carrots are located.  And no matter if I switch sides from day to day or stay the same for a week, the carrots just seem to flee from me.
But not today.
Today, the carrots were on my side.
