After finishing my shopping, I walked out of the grocery store and headed to the spot where I’d parked my car. But it wasn’t there. I wasn’t the kind of person to forget where I’d parked. I knew I was in the right place — so where was my car? I looked around, but nothing made sense. Not knowing what to do, I called my husband at home and said, “My car is missing! I can’t find my car.” I heard him laughing on the other end of the line. “Your car is here outside the house! You took mine today, remember?” I turned around — and there it was. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. With a sigh of relief, I walked over to the car. Everything was fine after all.
