True Story
This happened Tuesday morning…
K: “Did you ever find the check for C and M?”
(C is our nephew. M is his new wife. I was supposed to give the check to them at their wedding, which was held at Paradise Palms. I wrote about the wedding in the Jan. 31 issue. Remember the above photo?)
Me: “No. I looked everywhere I could think of. I can’t find it.”
K: “Are you sure you didn’t give it to them?”
Me: “No, I’m not sure. I can’t remember anything anymore.”
K: “Did you check your pocket?”
Me: “What pocket?”
K: “The pocket of the suit jacket you wore that night.”
Me: “What suit was it?”
(K goes upstairs to look in my closet. A few minutes later, she comes down with check in hand.)
Me: “So, you found it!”
K: “No.”
Me: “No?”
(She shows me the check. It was for SB’s wedding, which took place in 2013!)
Me: “Oh, boy!”
K: “Exactly!”
Me (sheepishly grinning): “Gee.”
K: “No wonder we never got a thank you note!”
Me: “I guess I’ll have to write another check.”
K: “With interest!”
