The have and the have-not

by Mama Mabel

Coondog has highly developed powers of observation.  I do not.  Yesterday, I went to the store for milk.  I bought the milk.  I walked out of the store without the milk.  A single item purchase and I couldn't even get it as far as my car.  What's worse is that I didn't realize it until I got home and panicked because I thought I had left it sitting out a few extra minutes in the hot car before remembering to unload it.

This morning, I packed my lunch in a WalMart sack, changed Ladybug's diaper then ran out the door for work, proud of myself for remembering to grab the sack.  Halfway to work, I discovered that I had mistakenly grabbed a bag of clothes instead.  Coondog noticed my bag of food sitting out and brought it to me before lunchtime today.  While he was in town, he picked up the milk I had left at the store and brought it home for Ladybug to drink.  Thanks to our joint efforts, everything is now where it should be.  We make such a great team!
