megan was running late for school. only this time, it wasn’t her fault. it was her dad’s.
“i know my keys are around here somewhere,” he said. “will you me look, meg? ” he’d been frantically looking for his keys for the last 10 minutes.
megan rolled her eyes in response and pretended to look for the keys. she was too annoyed to actually , though. her dad had a bad habit of misplacing things—and not just simple things like keys or a wallet. it wasn’t uncommon for megan’s dad to take the ice cream out of the freezer, go grab a spoon and bowl, and then forget where he put the ice cream. days later, he’d find it melted in a random kitchen cabinet. at this point, megan was fed up.
“dad, i don’t see your keys anywhere. are you sure they’re in the house? ” megan called out to her dad.
“well, of course! where else would they be? ” her dad called back.
“have you looked outside? remember that time your keys were in the recycling bin in the garage? ”
megan’s dad chuckled. “good point! i still don’t know how they got there, but i’ll go check in the garage. and in the trash can, for good measure.”
megan smiled to herself. she really did love her dad, flaws and all. suddenly, she heard her dad yell out from the garage. megan raced outside.
“look at this, meg! ” her dad said, gesturing to his car. “my keys were in the car, and it was already running. did you start the car earlier to warm it up and forget? ”
“no, dad,” said megan, fighting back the urge to roll her eyes again. “i’m pretty sure you must have done that.”
“i sure don’t remember. but then, i never do! come on, let’s get you to school before i lose the car.”
megan and her dad got in the car. “just another day with my dad,” thought megan, grinning to herself.
