Things That Can’t Be Undone

A spoken word misspoken
A false rumor
Ugly words spoken in anger
The written word followed by hitting, “send”
The breaking of a window
The shooting of a bird
Wrecking the family car
Slipping on ice
Oversleeping an important appointment
Toothpaste squeezed out of the tube
Using an ink pen on a crossword puzzle
Singing one beat earlier than everyone around you
Your first (whatever) … after that, nothing else can be your first
The backseat of a car or the morning after
Saying “I do”
Forgetting your anniversary
Losing your wedding ring
Telling a lie
Having an affair
Hurtful words
Lost trust
Identity theft
A missed putt
Dropping a pop fly
Discovering your fly is open
Forgetting the baking soda in a recipe
The smell of burnt popcorn
Scalded soup
Breaking wind on a crowded elevator
A prank that goes wrong
An act of meanness
A tattoo
A personal confession on Facebook
Photos on the Internet
