    I am absolutely horrible for this.

    Years ago senior week was rolling around and my parents were going on vacation. They left the day before I did. I had packed up the clothing I needed cleaned out my truck I was ready to go.

    The next morning I woke up and looked for my keys, they were gone. I just had them the prior day and I knew that I had put them somewhere where I couldn’t possibly forget and lose them. I specifically remembered doing that, but as I kept looking and they kept not showing up, I expected that I dreamed it. So I went from looking places that I might have put them to retracing my steps for where I probably put them. Hours and hours later, it was still no good. It was infuriating. I was supposed to be at the beach by now. I went ahead and went to bed that night.

    The next morning I woke up determined to find the keys. I did a systematic sweep of the vehicle and then started inside and went counterclockwise through every room looking in every nook and cranny. After going through every area in the house that I had been in for the past 48 hours they still didn’t show up.

    Now I’m looking in drawers and cabinets where I didn’t go. I had torn through my room topped to bottom left to right front to back. I decided I was going to go back out and check the truck again, But it was just starting to rain outside, so I put my shoes on. Right there in the toe of my right shoe or my car keys. I can’t possibly lose my keys if they’re in my shoes it’s not like I would go to the beach without my shoes on. It just didn’t occur to me too go quite that far while I was looking for them.
