On Saturday morning, Derek was picked up by his friends to golf. Once they decided who was driving (he didn’t get the short straw), he tossed his keys onto the back of his closed trunk and was off. Fast forward 5 hours later when we were getting ready to head out for the evening and the keys were nowhere to be found. I’m asked “did you leave them on the back of the car when you went to the Farmers Market?” I had NO clue what he was talking about until he explained the situation..... and went on to blame me for not noticing they were there.
After several round of this (not so fun) game, we decided to re-drive the route I had taken earlier that day with the hope that they maybe just slid off the back of the car and were laying in the street. About 10 minutes in (those suckers apparently held on for life!), Derek spotted them in the road and we were jumping with joy. It wasn’t until after a few minutes of running in between cars when he finally retrieved them and I could tell by the look on his face that something was wrong.
He got in the car and handed me these. Rolled over, thrown around, beat up, but yet still all on the chain. At least we know that our house can't be broken into now with half the key missing!** Feel free to cast your vote in our 'battle of the sexes'! Was Derek at fault for leaving them on the back of the car without telling me? Or was it my fault for not having magic powers and automatically checking the back of the car for anything left behind?! Only you can help decide!
Sarah, I am totally on your side on this one! Sorry Derek:)
ReplyDeleteSorry Derek, but I'm going with Sarah on this one!
ReplyDeleteAnd by going with Sarah, I meant that it was NOT her fault. I realize that sounded confusing :)
ReplyDeleteYep...Sorry Derek dear but what a lousy place to decide to leave the keys behind in! Sarah's got this one in the bag! Nice to see you turned an unfortunate "debate" into a fun solution!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Derek! Sarah's won my vote! Maybe if you were to do a post explaining things from your perspective and using strong rhetoric, I'd consider your side (wink, wink).
ReplyDelete100 votes for Sarah's side! Derek shoulders the Blame in this Game. Accountability is the buzz word of the day; and Derek, you are solely accountable for keys in your possession OR where you leave them. (Anyway, I'm not biased at all either.) :o)
