Lost And Found

There are many things in our daily lives, keeping our brains busy; Children and their homework, business, dinner, laundry, the car’s service, paying the bills. It is therefore not so strange to lose things. Well, they are not lost, they are just misplaced. You were so much in a hurry from one chore to the other, that you didn’t pay attention of where you put things. The first thing I always misplace, is my wallet.

After I’ve been to the shops to quickly get milk, bread and eggs, it is a mad rush to unload the washer, get the dinner on the stove and see to it that the children have done their homework. Later when they ask for canteen money, you start looking for your wallet. Not on the kitchen counter, not dropped behind the couch, not in the bedroom and not in the car. Where did I put it? Have you thought of calling to the wallet, hoping it would answer? I’m seriously thinking of developing something like that. Installing something in the wallet that would make it respond like a dog when called. Here boy, here boy, where are you? And the wallet making little happy sounds in response. Clever huh, don’t you think?

The same goes for the all the car keys with the garage door remotes on them. You come in from wherever you’ve been, leave the car keys someplace where you have just dropped them once you are inside the house, and now they’re gone, kapoof, missing, AWOL. The pestilence of the fact is, you need those pesky little garage door remotes to open the garage door with, and you need the car keys to unlock and start the car with. So you can’t just let them be, you have to find them. Once again a little “reply” thing would be handy. I know of a gadget which you can attach to your car keys, it senses sharp noises, like clapping hands. If you clap your hands near it, it will reply with a “beep-beep” or some sound. Handy again, don’t you think. The problem is that the darn thing will do it wherever it is, irrespective of whether it was you producing the sharp noise. I was in the library the other day, someone dropped some heavy books off the study desk in the reading section, it made a loud bang, and there my car keys went: “beep-beep”. I can’t begin to tell you the funny stares I got. Although it is handy to have your key ring answer you back when you “call” it by clapping your hands, the thing runs on battery power. And not any regular battery, some fancy special battery that looks very similar to the battery in your watch, but not all batteries are compatible with the little device. And once you let the battery run off, it sometimes slip your mind to have it replaced.

So I propose to introduce a ‘lost and found’ department in my house. If anyone in the household come across anything that is not supposed to be where they find it, take it to the ‘lost and found’ department, which would probably be an unused fruit bowl or something. And next time you start looking for your things,that will be the first place to start.
