Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me 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. As I burst through the door, 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, 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, "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. "Dummy", he barked, "I dropped you off!"

Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." he retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car." - Yep it's the golden years.

Let me tell you a little story of my mother....My Dad usually sets in the car reading a newspaper while my mother does the shopping or paying bills...He watched my mother coming out of the store walking to another similar color car but not the right car with a man setting in the car but not my dad ...She was talking as she unloaded the cart and got into the car with the strange man....He patiently listened to her not saying a word ....Then as my mother fastend her seat belt and told the strange man where she wanted to go next he replied I would love to take you but my wife wouldn't have a ride home ...My mother was a little startled and in her fright started to laugh and got out of the car then my dad tooted the horn with a smile on his face...My mother proceeded to let dad know of her displeasure of watching her and not saying a thing....We still laugh about it to this day...Dad has dimentia now but he remembers that.....
