I can hardly type this for laughing, but here goes. A while ago, I heard a shout from the bedroom. My husband had pulled a bit too hard on a drawer in the wall unit, with the result that a book on the top shelf had dislodged, landing on his head. As he's got about as much hair as Yul Brynner, it hurt considerably.
I was quite concerned, until I picked up the book, and read the title. The book was by one of my favourite authors, Philippa Gregory. And the title? 'Fallen Skies!' Yes, you read it right. Even my husband had to laugh - eventually!
Has anything like this ever happened to you? Call it serendipity, or whatever you like, but I'd love to hear your similar stories.

Quite coincidental. I probably have had something lie that happen to me before, but of course I can't think of it at this moment. 
I have had de ja vu before as well and that is sometimes pretty eerie! 2 people like this

Hello, Stephanie. Yes, I've had a touch of deja vu as well. As you say, it's eerie, but isn't life just wonderful? It's so full of coincidences that aren't really coincidences, and similar stuff.

Ah yes, I know what you mean. Life is quite interesting that way. I think everything happens for a reason, so a coincidence is never really a coincidence.

Hello, Cher. Yes, it's certainly made my day, and I just had to share it with my MyLot friends. Luckily it was a paperback and not a hardback, otherwise we might have finished up in the Emergency Room, as it's quite a thick book.

I do feel bad having a laugh on your hubby but this was so hilarious and I wanted to pop in and say 'hello' so...
Hello! 
I guess I could tell you of similar situations if only I could remember them, or at leastone, but.... I guess I'm getting old too!

Hello, Diana.
We're still laughing about it today. They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and it certainly is in this case. Don't feel guilty - there's no lasting harm done - at least not this time, anyway.

This is most valuable inputting from esteemed friend Dawn on wonderful site of MyLot which is best on internet. Thank you for telling the peoples a very good advising for the futures. The peoples are thinking that the taking of the supplementals such as ginkgo biloba for the healthiness of the brain is a good thing to be doing. However, in your very sad case, there is provings that sometimes the same supplementals which our esteemed and worthy doctoring peoples are telling us are good for the wellbeings of the peoples brains can actually send the peoples around the bendings.

That's very funny!
I have one, a little bit like it.
My son was in trouble a few weeks back for not bringing in a book back to their school library. When I finally got the note from the school, and asked him about it, he said that he forgot where he placed the book.
And the title of the book is... Forgetful Joe.

Hello, Bounce. That's a great one - and a double whammy. Not only did he forget to return the book, he forgot where it was. Is your son's name Joe? If not, perhaps you should consider changing it.

Hello, Kalyni. Yes, it can be very painful being short of hair. I never realised reading was so dangerous until Sunday!
