I just finished reading "The Art of Mending," by Elizabeth Berg. There'a a part in the book that had me cracking up because it's the kind of thing that's been happening to me more and more as I get older. I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying! Here's the passage:
"Another friend told me about a time she'd answered her cell phone and told her girlfriend, who was the caller, that she was in the parking lot of her doctor's office, getting ready to go in for an appointment, but she was early; she had some time to talk. They chatted for a while and then the woman happened to look down into her purse at the empty carrier for her cell phone. She told her friend, 'Dammit, I lost my cell phone.' Wait it gets worse. The friend says, 'Well, let's retrace your steps.'
Ha! Ha!

Oh, that is so funny! But a little scary, too!
