Mother of invention


Traditionally this phrase is that "Necessity is the mother of invention" Perhaps Accident is more like Invention's flaky Aunt. Many times the slip of the brush or the scissors at an inopportune time leads me to make "design choices" I would not otherwise make, but it seems to me that most invention is the result of desperation or of carefully planned out experimentation to fill needs...

What do you think? Could Accident be a mother to Invention?

I'm thinking accident was the mother of that fortune. But yes, I suppose it could be, of course. I forgot how much I like your blog- I wish i got on the internet more!

I wish you did too Rosie... since this computer box is usually the way we get to communicate.

All I can think of is how Weasels Ripped My Flesh but I'm positive that the thought contributes nothing.
