Dumb Moment of the Month

Whoa... I had such a dumb moment this morning. So, it's Thursday, so Vinh has Robotics after school, so I'll be driving to work and then picking him up at 5:00. So as I'm about to leave the house, my dad hands me the keys to the car. So I take them, I put them somewhere, and I'm still getting ready to go to work, so I put on my shoes, grab my backpack, put on my jacket, and... 8 seconds later, I'm looking around and... I can't find the car keys.

I can't see them. My dad gave them to me, and then 8 seconds later, I can't find them. So I check my left jacket pocket, right jacket pocket... not there. I check my left jeans pocket, my right jeans pocket... not there. Hmm... I check my jacket pockets and jean pockets again. Still not there.

I remember my backpack being unzipped before I pick it up, so I'm wondering, "did I put my keys in my backpack?" So I unzipped it, searched around, didn't find anything. I unzip the other zippers, even though I'm sure they were closed. Still nothing. I again check my jeans pockets, but still nothing.

I check the room that I'm in... maybe I put it on the black piano, which is stupid because the keys are black. Nope, not there. I check the coat hanger wooden thing... nope, not on there. Maybe it fell? I look behind it... nope, not there. Ooh, my old winter jacket. Maybe I was so smart and stupid at the same time that I put my keys in my winter jacket pocket so I would find them later? I check there... nope, not there.

"Umm... Dad? so you gave me the keys, right?" - yes, he gave me the keys. So, I check my pockets again. Nothing. So anyway, this goes on for about 4-5 minutes; me, being all panicky and stupid, because I was given keys, and then 8 seconds later I had no idea where they were.

And then I find the keys, and I start calling myself dumb. ARGH!! So my dad gave me the keys, and I put them in my sweatshirt/hoodie pocket. It's a good pocket because it's empty and only special things like car keys go in there. So I was still getting ready for work, so I put it in that pocket, and then I put on my jacket, zipped it up a bit, and then I basically didn't have access to my hoodie pocket anymore. In this way, it's like I didn't know these hoodie pockets existed anymore. ARGH!!!

This frustrates me so. And I feel so dumb now.
