On Losing

i'm driven by "guilt" to post this, lol

Yesterday when i was chatting with a fren, i confidently said that Ewan "didn't get that from me".

"That" meaning the habit of misplacing or losing things.

Ewan lost his wallet slightly more than a week ago. We tried all avenues to find it but weren't successful. When i called up to report the loss of his student card, i was told to consider waiting a week because who knows, there may be some kind souls around. Well, a week has passed. No wallet, or student card or souls of any kind. Yesterday i went to get his card replaced. Of course must pay lah.

So that was more or less how i came to say that i am NOT like "that".

But funny how certain memories come back after that conversation. i have misplaced water bottles when i was little; left my swimming stuff in the taxi; left a bag of newly bought clothes in the MRT; and..... errr, i think that is about the extent i allow my brain to recall, lol

i think much as we are frustrated/irritated/angry when our kids lose things, most of us were once like that too?

;-)

okay, i've confessed.

BUT at least i didn't lose an apple, wahahahahaha
