myself a personal "TSA Pat Down."
They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the
car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.
My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition.

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" He barked, "I dropped you off!"
Now it was my turn to be silent.
Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me."
He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your damn car!"
