Coincidence

Coincidence: a situation in which events happen at the same time in a way that is not planned or expected (merriam-webster)

First class on Friday. Young advanced students, 1st-2nd grades.

They were writing about their favorite season, and one boy was writing about winter and snowboarding.

He came to my teacher's desk and asked me how to spell "board".

Just at that moment, a girl--who had already finished the writing and was working on a word-search puzzle about classroom objects--asked me how to spell "board", as in "whiteboard".

I spelled "b-o-a-r-d" for both of them.

Strange!
