Good job, Mystery Author, with your little story. I enjoyed reading it. I believe many will identify with it. Finally, s/he remembered they were looking for the glasses that weren't found. I got a laugh. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes. Jan

Thanx for stopping by for the quick read and review, Jan, and I am really glad I made you smile -- love it when the words work the way they were meant to!! :) ;) Your comments are very much appreciated and I wish you a wonderful week of sunshine and a healthy dose of fresh-baked cookies! :) ;)

I think the best is when you're looking for your glasses and can't find them anywhere - because they're on top of your head!
I have indeed forgotten that one essential thing, as you describe, not once but twice. One time I lost my keys and my husband found them under the dishwasher when he was playing with the dog - NEVER would have found them there.
Nice job on this very short story that should appeal to everyone!

Thanx for stopping by for the quick read and review, Carol, and, yes, I've done the 'on the head' thing, too!! :) ;) And so far as the keys in the dishwasher? Well, I found mine in the box of diapers once when the boys were little....this was, of course, after we'd already PAID to have duplicates of my husband's made!! :) :) Ya gotta laugh (because who wants to cry about being a bit crazy?!!) :) Appreciate the comments and be sure to have a wonderful week of sunshine and a healthy dose of fresh-baked cookies! :) ;)

Trust me, there is some humor here... but. there's also a certain amount of deja vu as well. This a very interesting story in just fifty words. I wish you luck in the contest. Best wishes.

Thanx for stopping by for the quick read and review, victor, and, yeah, as I said in the author comments, it's funny because one must laugh at oneself as you get older -- otherwise, you're just sad about it all the time!! :) ;) Your comments are very much appreciated and I wish you a wonderful week of sunshine and a healthy dose of fresh-baked cookies! :) ;)

I agree. As you get older, you can laugh or cry. No one really cares if you cry, but if you laugh, that makes people curious and they are drawn to you.

Excellent, combined with the trouble of finding everything yet missing the most important item you need to find things and then to drive, very well written and very humorous, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

This is an excellent short story for the contest
I wouldn't have that problem
because I wouldn't be able to find anything without my glasses.
But this is a solid humorous story
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Thanx for stopping by for the quick read and review, RS, and I am really glad I made you smile -- love it when the words work the way they were meant to!! :) ;) And I'm not to the point of needing mine to see the big wide world...just need them if I want to see it in crisp, clear detail! Oh, and words? Yeah, those are pretty much gone without the ol' spectacles (unless, of course, I set my e-reader to LARGE print -- ha!!). Appreciate the comments and be sure to have a wonderful week of sunshine and a healthy dose of fresh-baked cookies! :) ;)
