Where did it go?

Friends of ours were expecting last year, and they joked about how forgetful, even incoherent the wife could be. They joked that whenever one of her "stupid" moments arose, she had been hit with the "stupid stick".

So far I haven't been having too much trouble with the whole thinking process, but on occasion I say things or do things that are a little odd. That being said, Tuesday afternoon I truly had a forgetful moment.

I was getting ready for work, and as usual, was just about late, but not quite yet. I decided to take some fish out of the freezer for dinner. I went downstairs, got fish out of the freezer, and then looked down. We have two cats, one is full grown, one is a kitten. The kitten was hanging around and seemed to gesture that she needed food. The fully grown cat's food is kept in the freezer room, and his dish was full. The kitten's food is in the bathroom next door, so I went next door, and she did indeed need food. I opened the cupboard, got out the food, and she hopped into the cupboard. I filled up her dish and then I had to struggle with her to get her out of the cupboard. By this time, I had no time to lose to get to work. I rushed upstairs, grabbed my lunch, drinks, computer bag and headed to work.

Now, when you read the paragraph above, do you at some point stop and ask yourself, "what did she do with the fish?" I asked myself the same question just as I was rolling into work. Although I remembered taking the fish out of the freezer, I had no recollection of what I had done with it from there....

My husband had left the house early in the morning for business meetings, and got home after lunch. As soon as I knew he was home, I called him and put him on the hunt for fish. He looked upstairs in the kitchen and in the fridge. No fish. He looked downstairs in the freezer, on top of the freezer. No fish.

I was almost in a panic, when it suddenly dawned on me to ask him to check in the room our kitten's food is kept. Sure enough, the fish was found!

Good ole stupid stick.
