If Rosie's mother had known that eye colour was not a reliable indicator of paternity, and organised a DNA test to confirm her suspicions, there would have been no Father Project, no Great Cocktail Night, no New York Adventure, no Reform Don Project-and no Rosie Project. Had it not been for this unscheduled series of events, her daughter and I would not have fallen in love. And I would still be eating lobster every Tuesday night.Incredible.
The narrator reflects on the significant implications of a single decision made by Rosie's mother regarding eye color as an indicator of paternity. Had she conducted a DNA test, it would have completely altered the course of their lives, preventing a series of events that led to the Father Project, Great Cocktail Night, New York Adventure, Reform Don Project, and ultimately the Rosie Project itself. This insight emphasizes how one choice can drastically change the trajectory of relationships and experiences.
The narrator expresses how these events not only brought them together but also shifted his life in meaningful ways, highlighting the unpredictability of love and fate. He muses that instead of their unique journey, he would have been stuck in a routine of mundane activities, such as eating lobster every Tuesday night. This reflection encapsulates the idea that unexpected situations can lead to profound connections and transformations.
