The Forgotten Stuff

Have you ever noticed, it doesn't really matter if you are in a hurry or not, but your wallet and your watch, two of the most important items on your person are most likely to be forgotten. Some people have a morning routine which includes cleaning up for the day, throwing your clothes on, and then sliding the wallett in the back pocket, keys in the front pocket, followed by change and/or a small pocket knife which is just the right sice to open an envelope, slice through a piece of scotch tape, or get tackled by three airport security gaurds the size of Brad's mom who go by the name of Bertha, Tiny, and the Beast, pin your hands and ankles to the ground while a scrawny, little man in a dark suit walks up, takes the 2 inch knife from the guards and asks you what your planning to do with a dangerous object like that.
Where was I? Oh yea, the forgotten. My brother and sister-in-law just left the house and wasn't in any specific hurry, but did have a destination. They stopped at the gas station to get robbed while they fuel up their tank, reached into their back pockets and realized that they had bother forgotten their wallett/handbags (I believe my brother carries the wallett, and my sister-in-law carries the handbag. I could be wrong. I overheard Mom talking about a trip he took to San Fransisco, had a nice Quiche, and talked about poetry. Don't ask, don't tell. ((Kidding))
To top it off, neither one of them had a watch on. I'm quite sure that I have found myself in the same situation...not in San Fran eating quiche and discussing poetry, but wallet, watch, cell phone all forgotten and there I am looking like a dope in front of the fuel up station wondering what I could tell the clerk to ask for grace in allowing me to go get my wallet and pay for the fuel. Whatta' ya' gonna' do?
So the next time you get ready to leave the house, contemplate what you may be doing, what time you'll be doing it, and how much money you will require to get it done, and whom you might call while paying for whatever it is that you'll be doing at whatever time it might be that you are doing what it is you'll be doing while paying the tolls/fees and discussing the whole matter with your boyfriend/girlfriend and you too might avoid an emergency of forgotten items leading to another indication that we do indeed sometimes forget the most important items of the day while living in the World Gone Mad.
