After a meeting I was coming out of a hotel and I was looking for my car keys.
They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room... it wasn't there.
Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. My husband has shouted many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.
My theory is, the ignition is the best place not to lose them. His theory is that the car will be stolen.
Immediately I rushed to the parking lot, I came to a terrifying conclusion. His theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, car number and description of the place where I parked etc.
I equally confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, to my husband!!!
"Honey," I stammered; I always call him "honey" in times like these. "I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.
"There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard his voice."
"Idiot", he shouted, "I dropped you at the hotel!"
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me."
He shouted again, "I will, as soon as I manage to convince this policeman that I didn't steal your car."
I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like that you like it.
DeleteOh that's a good one!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too.
DeleteI do exactly the same thing many times,
ReplyDeleteI leave the keys in the car!!
I think the policeman was convinced that he is not a thief!!
No keys left in the car!!
DeleteYup. That's me.
ReplyDeleteDid Agnes do that to you?
DeleteHahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteFunny grandma story for the grandkids.
DeleteI've not done this one yet, but I never leave the keys in the car.
ReplyDeleteI never did either. Especially since my house key was on the same key ring.
DeleteI wonder how long that marriage will last.
ReplyDeleteShe'll have to get home to find out.
DeleteHAHAHA!! Good one :)
ReplyDeleteI've never left my keys in the car, but I've left them in the front door a few times ... it's really hard to find keys when you're only ransacking the inside of your house ...
OK, me too. One time that I can remember. And you're right. They are hard to find when they're not in the house.
DeleteVery good. I feel her pain.
ReplyDeleteSympathy pain or I've done that pain?
DeleteIt's that moment of panic when you can't find your car keys. My husband never calls me idiot however or shouts at me even when I do monumentally stupid stuff. I think I am married to the best man in the world.
ReplyDeleteYou probably are ... WAIT!!
DeleteNice one, Mike. Thanks for the chuckle.

ReplyDeleteDroll - humorous, whimsical, or odd quality - Yeah that's me, whimsical. Whimsical - Full of whims; freakish; having odd fancies or peculiar notions; capricious. - Oddly freakish... hmmmm.
