Why Didn’t I Think of That?

I often come across an invention or see a product advertised, and I say those very words. Usually, I use a whiny tone when saying them. Because someone other than myself made a fortune off something I came very close to inventing. It’s true. For a while, I had a defective smoke alarm that would go off if I used my broiler. I often yelled at it, “I’m just cooking!”

Sigh.
