Ever forgot something really important...?

To the best of my recollection, I've never lost a key ring with keys on it till last month when I lost 2.

And the second one was a replacement for the first . . . .

Maybe you lose key rings all the time and forget that you do.

When my daughter was about 5 (I'm currently having a physical reaction while recalling this story, not my proudest moment), we went to the park with two of my friends who were also parents. It was my kid, Becca and her 5yo daughter, and Kim and her 5yo son and maybe 1yo daughter, old enough to walk. We're all playing in the sandbox with a bunch of other kids. My two friends want to go have a cigarette so I tell them I'll watch the kids. They go off to benches out of eye line to smoke. This kid starts throwing shit and ruining everything, so I get in the sandbox and restore order, then go back to day dreaming or whatever. After a minute or two, I do a head count: 1.. 2.. and there's the boy, that's all 3. Except if you remember, I was watching 4 kids. I was totally satisfied with my headcount results, and go back to staring off or whatever. About a beat and a half later I start to panic (instincts I guess), the littlest one isn't around and I could not for the life of me remember if my friends took her with them. I'm in full panic mode. This little play park has all sorts of obstructions so it's not a quick glance around. I run around to the other side and there the little one is, wandering head first into the big kid swings. She was about 3 feet away from getting kicked in the head by two little feet when I snatched her up. Parents were staring. Sucked.

I took her back to the sandbox and acted like nothing happened. Haha Never told my two friends. Nothing really happened I guess, but it affected me big time. I always made sure to be extra super mindful after that. And to this day, I'll be going to sleep when this memory will pop in my head, and I have to get up and read something or get a drink. I get that uncomfortable about what could have happened.

Maybe you were just getting a nudge (my bolded) from your guardian angel (or demon)?  

But so good to see you!  You are my absolute favorite most duck.  Hope all is well.

Haha Dude, I've missed you, Whatevs. I come back after however long, and the first thread I see from you is that "How manly are you" one. Haha Glad to see nothing has changed.

What's funny about it is that I have on several occasions said that I could show up to work in my pajamas and nobody would say a word.  As it turns out, I was right.  

OK, so it helped that the pajama trousers I was wearing were black and resembled the trousers I wear every day, with the exception of a button fly.  I didn't even realize what I was wearing until mid morning.

I should do it again with my plaid pajamas and throw on some bunny slippers.

You're quite senior in your job aren't you? not to mention a fearsome, tentacled overlord so sounds like a case of "the emperor's new clothes" to me I say go ahead and go in your bunny slippers and watch them kiss your ass all the same

I'm still picturing Cthulhu in bunny slippers

Senior in years, not in position. I'm not exactly management material, nor do I want to be. It's more that I'm known for stretching the boundaries of "business casual" far beyond the breaking point.

I want those Cthulhu slippers. Please tell me they're a real thing.

I want those Cthulhu slippers. Please tell me they're a real thing.

Please. Would I ever play such a cruel joke on a friend?
