1. Wife forgets car key. Has to take mine, to drive the car to the parking lot, which is near her office, after dropping me off at my office.
2. At 5:02 pm, I call wife to see if she’s coming to pick me up, or if I need to walk to car. She tells me that she’s running an experiment, and I need to either take the bus immediately or go walk to the parking lot and get the car to pick up the kid. The kid must be picked up by 5:45 pm. I opt to walk to the car.
3. Upon arriving at the car, I realize that I do not have my car key. Also, Cell Phone battery has died because I forgot to charge phone last night. I walk to wife’s office to get my key.
4. Wife’s office door is closed and locked. I walk back to the car.
5. The car is gone. It is now 5:30. I walk back to my office.
6. I plug in my phone and call wife, who decided NOT to do her experiment, and go pick up the kid. “What’s wrong with your phone?†she asks. I stew in frustration, trying not to blame anybody.
7. Wife offers to pick me up. I accept the offer. I log into blog and post this message.
