Forgot a lighter which has so far led to 2 weddings and 5 kids?

In the first week of school, a buddy and I wandered around with beer and joints to various dorms but forgot a lighter. Asking around for one, we made a new friend. Fast forward a couple years, "new friend" let me know about a home for rent opening up. I rounded up some folks (including original buddy) and we rented it. Except one guy was gone for the summer. So, a gal came from out of town to live with there. We became friends, she fell in love and ended up moving here. Between her, her best friend and sister they've had 5 kids with partners mostly from that original friend circle.

So, if I had remembered a lighter way back in first year, we wouldn't have put a house of folks together, wouldn't have met gal and her pals and thus a few weddings and kids would've happened differently or not at all.

Okay, I think you win on the "insignificant decision" part of this question. That's hilariously butterfly-effect. You tell the story well; I bet you've told it before.

Thanks, I appreciate that! And yup, definitely told that a few times.
