Coincidence or Telepathy?

Last I night a received a phone call from my former mother-in-law. How strange … The last time I saw and talked to her was in November, when I went to put flowers on my late husband’s grave in his hometown.

And suddenly, out of the blue, hardly 24 hours after I've posted her ‘tranche napolitaine’ recipe, she phones me, for no apparent reason.


The first thing that springs to mind, of course, is that she has read Sunday’s post. However, this is very unlikely as she doesn’t have internet or even a computer. So maybe one of her children or grandchildren has read it and told her about it. No, sorry! I’m sure that some of them have internet and a computer, but nobody knows about my blog. Moreover, none of them speak English. We can therefore safely rule out that possibility too.


That leaves just one more option: telepathy. Do you believe in telepathy? I know I do! Maybe you had a 'telephatic' experience that you would like to share with us?

What a coincidence! A bit scary!

I am extra careful about extrasensory perceptions. But I'm not skeptical. We don't know enough about so many things, that I won't decide one way or the other. Solomon was one of my very distant ancestors! LOL


Word verification was faries. Close enough!

Telepathy would have been if she would have said to you "I dreamt there is a leak in your appartment that will make you very sick. It comes from.......". Everything else is coincidence.
I believe anything is possible but
you also have to know when it is real and when it is wishful thinking.

Jean, It's puzzling, isn't it?

Chm, Salomon! Now that you mention it, I think I can see a slight ressemblance :)!

Nadege, Maybe the damp has gone to my head. LOL

It must be true, Sue finishes all my sentences for me before I finish them, or is that just a wife thing?????

ladybird said...

Leon, I guess it's a bit of both :))!

Sometimes I do believe in telepathy but it was probably just coincidence.
It was nice of her to call.

Dedene, It was, considering that her son (my husband) died almost 27 years ago.
