Like Father, Like Daughter...

Ever walk into a room and forget what you came in there for... or just forget where you put something? My father does it all the time, and my Mom blamed it on age, but it can't be age, because I swear, I was born with it... I do it all the time too, and I'm not old; I've done it all my life. Mom teases me all the time about being absent-minded like my father, but we do okay... usually. But the other day, my dad tells me he's gonna work on my brakes. This was great, but then he loses my car keys - my only set of car keys. You see, I had thought, "I'm never gonna lose my keys, right, I dont' need to make an extra set..." So he looks and looks, and can't find them anywhere. I have to borrow my mom's car to get to work. (Thanks, mom !)

The next day, he still can't find them, so I think I get the day off of classes, and then Becky calls and offers to pick me up for Psychology class and take me to work, so I survive Day Two w/o a car. However, I had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart before work, and since I didn't have my own car, I had to carry my purchase into work - a litterbox for the cat, who doesn't want to be a good neighbor and share a box with the other cat... another story, entirely, one you probably don't WANT to read. :P At any rate, the litter box caused the receptionist to raise her eyebrows a bit. I told her some of the people in the office weren't housebroken yet, and she laughed.

Well, my mom calls me at work. "Hey honey, I found your keys sitting on the table, and your car's back in the driveway, so I guess Dad found your keys." So later on, I'm talking to Dad, and he says he found them (in the trunk) about 15 minutes after Becky had picked me up. What a convenient time for the brain to choose to remember, huh? Well, at least my brakes are fixed, but now my oil needs to be changed...

Yes, I have made a spare set of keys. But I put them in a safe place, where they wouldn't get lost - and now I can't remember where that is... :P
