Im trying not to laugh - but I do hope they turn up or have done so by now!
I will tell you a true story - a little similar, which I hope might make you laugh and realise you are not alone in this sort of thing ...
Some years back, My Dad phoned me in a panic.
He had lost the nose bridge piece of his spectacles - (Some specs have a litle rubbery bit that sits on the nose, rather than two plastic pads each side)
Hed noticed when he taken them off to clean them - and searched the whole house for it. He had got himself in a state, as his spectacles would slip about without it.
So I said I'd come and help him look. I didnt think we'd find it and imagined trip to the nearby optician for a replacement.
I dont drive - so after a waiting for a bus and a 20 minute bus journey I arrived at his house.
And there was Dad, at the front door, with the missing nose bit from his specs STILL ON HIS NOSE!!! He simply hadnt noticed it or felt it!
Now you're not as bad as that, are you ?!
