“My Glasses! My Glasses”

Every once in a while I do something really stupid. What follows is a story that illustrates my stupidity!

Here in Michigan, we’ve had some pretty hot weather. I had been outside working on the yard and when I started it was really sunny. As I continued to work, the clouds rolled in and I decided to switch from my prescription sunglasses to my regular pair. I grabbed the case, placed the sunglasses in it. We weren’t going anywhere for the remainder of the day, so I placed the glasses case on top of my wife’s car, which was next to where I was working.

Fast forward about an hour and a half. I was still outside working and my wife came out to say that she was leaving to go get her prescription at the store. I kissed her and she was off. As she pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street, the sun came back out. I went to grab my glasses case and gasped!

She had only been gone about 2-4 minutes, tops. I grabbed my phone and called her. She picked up the phone and before I could say anything she said, “Did you put your wallet on the top of my car?” I explained that it was my sunglasses and she couldn’t believe it. She said that she heard something slide off the car as they turned.

She told me to hang on as she pulled the car over. Luckily, the roads weren’t too busy. Even luckier, the case landed on the asphalt while my glasses were thrown into someone’s yard in a nice grassy area. When she returned to the car, she told me that the glasses looked ok, but the case was fairly banged up.

When she came home, she walked up to me and handed me my glasses case. She looked me dead in the eye and said, “I didn’t realize when I married you that I was required to play Frogger on a main highway because of your stupidity!”
