The Three Thing

many times I have dropped a pencil and reached for it only to miss

I miss once, I miss twice, but the third time I get it.

the third time I actually pick it up

how common is this pattern

third time's a charm?

a charm?  what does that mean?

I just witnessed another human being do something three times before they did it right.
But it was a little trickier, loading a glass into a dishwasher

careless
not giving right attention
in a hurry
asleep at the switch

what is it that makes us miss twice but get it on the third try?
