On "Losing" Things

After grabbing lunch with a friend, we walked outside into the bitter cold and I decided it was a bit too sunny for my eyes, so I went to put on my sunglasses. I stopped in my tracks and began to rummage through my purse. To my dismay, they weren't in there. I'm thinking, "Go figure - another pair of sunglasses...lost." So, I tell my friend I need to go back inside to see if I left them on the table. But! I turn to around to see a look of slight embarrassment. He says, "Erica. Your sunglasses are on top of your head."

It is moments like these that you have no choice other than to step aside and laugh at yourself. Because honestly, what are you going to say after that?

(Also, I can't count the number of times I've played card/board games and have looked for my cards to find they are in my hand.)

So, the next time you think you lose something (or someone?), it's best to start looking in the most obvious places. Just a thought.
