I Nearly Lost It

Tweet

I am usually rather good at keeping track of my stuff. But when it comes to my cell phone, I have a habit of putting it into the rider basket of the shopping cart, which my wife normally graciously takes up a careful watch over—probably partly because I am always asking her when we're out shopping, "Do you have my phone?" So, we were checking out and as we were waiting our turn in line my wife and I were talking and she was holding onto my phone the whole time. We left, and headed to another store, and I went to reach for my phone. "Do you have my phone?" I inquired as per my usual. "I thought I gave it to you." "You did not." Luckily the two stores we went to were close by, actually almost in the same parking lot even, so we went back to the cart corral to check the carts and the phone was not there. I looked in the back of my truck so see if it slipped off the console or something, or if I had laid it down when I was putting the bags in. Nope, not there either. Turns out it WAS in the shopping cart, and miraculously they had snatched up our cart in that short time and put it back in the store. I was happy to have found it... I nearly lost it in more ways than one.
