Ghost of Midnight

“Senior moment” or unreliable pocket?

“Thank you so much, Mary Jane, for posting about my missing credit card. Several people saw it and let me know, and I got it back this afternoon. Usually when I frantically comb the house for something that was in my pocket yesterday, my angst is lonely. Now,I hear from a friend who heard from a friend that my unreliable pocket’s misdemeanor was made public, and I receive kindness not only from a stranger, but friends and family en masse! Not such a lonely world after all! (See what I did there where I shifted blame to my long-suffering pocket instead of to a ‘senior moment?’ Smooth right?)”
