A
Senior Golden Moment
From
a CNO reader
Several
days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel; I desperately gave myself a
personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my
pockets.
A
quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. 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's been stolen."
There
was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but
then I heard his voice.
"Are
you kidding' me", 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 cop I didn't steal
your car."
Yep,
it's the golden years................
