I love to gamble. However I'm not much of a betting man
when it comes to human behavior. If I was, I would bet that
somehow my wife was behind a lot of my 'lost items' around
this house. I am in no way outright blaming her because I
know I misplace a lot of things when she is nowhere around.
I think it could possibly be because of my fifty idea a second
thought process. My hands are laying something down while
my brain is thinking about four other projects in four other
rooms. The only reason I would even suggest she was involved
is that it seems that she always benefits from my misfortune.
Case in point. Tonight as I prepared to go grocery shopping
I discovered that I had misplaced my wallet. I looked in all
of the places that I normally place it to no avail. My wife
suggests that she may have seen it on my computer desk. Well
I had looked before but maybe just maybe it was under some
of my notes, mail, coupons and such. Perhaps if I cleaned that
up a bit ... nope, not there. She then suggested maybe I left it in
one of my many jacket pockets. That could be, so I checked
each one, and as I did I put them on hangers and hung them in
the closet .. Nope not there either. Her next theory, could I have
left it in her car yesterday when I drove it ? Let me check. Nope
Just a couple receipts and a couple pieces of junk mail between
the seats which I did throw away. Finally I found it. 'Somebody'
had slipped it behind the keyboard on the slide out tray of my
computer desk. Now I know I would never put it there ! Hmm
Seeing a pattern here? I'm in panic mode and she's getting the
house cleaned. That's it .. I'm getting my wallet dusted for
fingerprints !!!
