Lost Car Keys

I was looking for my keys

They were not in my pockets

A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.

Suddenly I realised I must have left them in the car

Frantically, I headed for the car park.

My husband has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition

My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them

His theory is that the car will be stolen.

As I scanned the car park I came to a terrifying conclusion! His theory was right

The car park was empty

I immediately called the police

I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all.

“Hello my love”, I stammered; I always call him “My Love” in times like these

“I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence

I thought the call had disconnected, but then I heard his voice

He barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my time to be silent

Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

He retorted, “I will… as soon as I convince this policeman I haven't stolen your car!”

This is what they call, “the Golden Years”!
