So, where are my keys?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down.\u00a0 I was looking for my keys.\u00a0 They were not in my pockets or purse.\u00a0 A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.<\/p>\n

Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car.\u00a0 Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.\u00a0 My husband, David, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.\u00a0 My theory is the ignition is the best place to keep them. His theory is that the car will be stolen.\u00a0 As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion.\u00a0 His theory was right.\u00a0 The parking lot was empty.<\/p>\n

I immediately called the police.\u00a0 I gave them my location, confessed I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.<\/p>\n

Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered.\u00a0 I always call him “honey” in times like these.\u00a0 “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”<\/p>\n

There was a period of silence.\u00a0 I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard David’s voice. “Betty” he barked, “I dropped you off!”<\/p>\n

Now it was my time to be silent.\u00a0 Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”<\/p>\n

David retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this nice policeman I have not stolen your car.”<\/p>\n
