We see what we want to see.

We were visiting friends, long drive. Decided to stop at a plaza to get something to eat. A truck was blocking me and then moved. Within about a second

Me: oh nice hamburgers

Wife: sushi, grand opening

4 year old daughter: ice cream!

I slammed my foot on the brake. Sure enough right there was a hamburger place next to a sushi place (with grand opening sign) next to an ice cream place. I just sat there trying to understand the implications of what just happened. 3 people were shown the same thing at the same time and each of them saw exactly what they wanted to. It was like the poem about the blind men examining the elephant but freaken real.

Never going to forget that moment.
