Clarifying Schrodinger's Cat Conundrum

Yeah ... that dang cat ...

My mum suffered the same paradox when I was a kid. If she had to pop out to the shops while I was at home, the resulting equation was:

me ... the house ... a box of matches ... various flammable materials – and the question was, she would never know if the house was on fire, until she got back to the house.

Why Schrodinger gets all the kudos for the paradox every parent faces every time they're apart from their kids, I have no idea.
 
This host goes over the well known paradox of Schrodinger's cat. Which always seemed not quite right to me either.

Schrodinger's Cat is Nonsense. Always Was 3 weeks ago Length 6:43

I had a dream recently that resembled Shodinger’s thought experiment. I was shooting a very long and low percentage basketball shot and as I waited to see the result, the ball never appeared. The outcome was undetermined. Perhaps my semi-lucid sensing of my participation in an Imaginal realm of quantum unpredictability? Tapping into the potentially creative energies of the Other Side? Rehearsing being more comfortable with the Unknown? In order to build my own resiliency, creativity, and faith?
