Had a flashback this morning to something that happened over the summer on vacation. We were walking down the street in Crested Butte after eating lunch.
Wife: Where are my sunglasses? I can't find my sunglasses!
Me: Well we haven't gone far, so they may be at the restaurant.
Wife: No, I know I had them. They're not here! Not in my purse, not in the stroller!
Me: You're not talking about the sunglasses you're wearing right now, right? (kinda smile thinking I'm going to get a glare for my tone. She'll sometimes carry 2 pairs of sunglasses--one stylish and one for exercise--and I thought obviously she wasn't talking about the ones on her head)
Wife pulls them off, says "yea, that's them", and keeps walking as if nothing happened. She didn't have them on top of her head. She was actively wearing them to protect her eyes from the sun. Thank God some random dude witnessed the whole thing so he could laugh at her with me.
My 7 year-old son did the same thing with his watch this morning. He was frantically looking for it, only to find it on his wrist 2 minutes later.
