A test of your ability to visualize something you didn't actually see (a test of my ability to explain it so you can):
This morning I was making French toast for breakfast. I had gotten as far as cracking three eggs into an 8-inch square pan. I bumped the pan, the corner of which was hanging just slightly over the edge of the countertop, and it started to tip in such a way that what was in it was going to spill out onto my freshly-mopped-on-Wednesday kitchen floor. In the split second that I realized what I'd done, I must have tried to counter the prospects of the imminent plopping sound of three raw eggs hitting said floor.
I'm not quite sure how the next part happened--I must have overcompensated in my daring rescue efforts. Before I knew it, one of the eggs had flipped in the other direction out of the pan and landed (mostly) in a the lid of a baking dish that was sitting clean on the counter waiting to be put away.
I laughed out loud, cleaned up the egg on the baking dish lid (plus the part that missed the dish and landed on the counter), added a new third egg to my French toast efforts, and went on my merry breakfast-prep way.
I wish I could see it all on video.
