There are times when you’re watching events unfold and you know what’s going to happen before it happens. Calling it means that you’re not only paying attention, but that you’re an active participant in events that you have no control over. It makes you feel more involved. You’ll be watching the game, notice how the defense is lined up, you’ll tell everyone within earshot that there will be an interception, and, lo and behold, there’s an interception. Congratulations, you have just called it. Other times you’ll be at a party and see two drunk strangers make a connection, and you’ll announce that they’ll be disappearing together soon. A few minutes later you’ll notice that there’s a line outside the bathroom door and no sign of the drunken couple. Looks like you called that one too. Calling it is a fun game. It doesn’t matter how often your prediction turns out to be wrong because they will only remember the times that you were right.
