monkey nonsense

you ever hear those horror stories of parents leaving their kids in the backseat on a hot, sunny day- they leave the house intending to drop off the kid at the daycare/school and head to work, but somewhere along the way… they forget the kid is with them and just head straight to work. then when the daycare/school calls to ask why their kid didnt show up, they realize and rush out to save their kid!

scary scary thing to happen, i always wondered how someone could forget something so important just because it might be quiet/asleep in the back. today, i learned just how easy it is.

so i put my precious lunch in the backseat of my car to make space for erica in the front seat. after dropping her off, i drove to work. my lunch was pretty quiet this whole time (it rarely makes sounds). i parked my car and walked into the building. got all the way up to my floor when i realized… i’m missing something!!

realizing i forgot my lunch, i rushed out to save it! (ok ok, first i dropped off my stuff at my cube and logged into my computer. hey! just in case anyone is checking… they’ll know i got in early today and that way, i can leave early! ) luckily, today is cooler than it has been the whole week and i realized my forgetfulness pretty early on. my breakfast/lunch was saved. whew!

now if only i could make my lunch last until lunchtime… you ever notice how when you bring a lunch from home, it’s usually gone by 10ish, 11ish? or is this just some problem only i have?
