I rarely hear song intros as self-deprecating as one I heard Friday. The DJ said, "This next song is about being an idiot. You know you've been there. I know I've been there." She elaborated that she'd become a better botanist recently and after an unspecified mishap realized, "Just because I can (identify) plants, (it) doesn't mean I can do anything..."
We all have those moments, I think, of believing we've conquered the world when we've actually just mastered a small portion of it.
