If I had a nickel...

“If I had a nickel for every time this happened, I’d have X nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened X times.”

I’m sure you’ve heard that sentence before. It’s for when things happen rarely, but it’s weird that it even happened more than once. What situations make you go like this?


If I had a nickel for every time Lego released an orange robot with rotors, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

If I had a nickel for every time my younger brother lost pieces from my new Mystery Minifigures, I’d have 3 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s concerning that it happened thrice.

Like, seriously, how many props can he possibly lose?

If I had a nickel for every time I had to rewrite a story (because I’m not happy with what I originally wrote) I would have enough to buy myself lunch several times a week :upside_down_face:

If I had a nickel for every time I said Carapar with an exclamation mark on different topics I’d have 3 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird I’ve done that so often.

If I had a nickel for every time a fan fiction about Bioman was created in the HSH I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s concerning it’s happened twice.

If I had a nickel for every time I accidentally bought myself a Lego set twice, I’d have no nickels, because I spent the two nickels I got on more Lego.

One of my favourite variatons of the phrase was something i said a few month ago:

If i had a nickel for every time this week i’ve gone to bed crying, i’d still have an awful week, but at least i would have a few nickels.
