This Scarf

A few years ago my Easter gift from my mom was a green scarf. I got it on the night before we departed for my little brother's Make a Wish Cruise.

Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote and sang an song called "This Shirt". If you have never heard it, look it up on youtube now.
Anyway, I don't have shirt like that but I have my green scarf.

I wore it on my first visit abroad.

It was essential to my first as an adult pirate costume party.

It loyally attempted to keep me warm in Idaho.

I wear it with my red leather jacket. Which actually looks much nicer than it sounds.

I use it dry the slides from rain and dew when I take the kids to the park.

I wore it on my first trip to Scotland. Which means I also wore it to the coffee shop J.K. Rowling wrote HP in. That's me and my scarf.



I know I wore it on my second trip to Belfast. Probably my first too.

I know I have worn it all over Ireland.

But this Saturday night I was sitting in the cinema (movie theater) with my friends and I realized I didn't have it. I knew I had it when I'd come in.

But it was no longer with me. I couldn't focus on the hot guy in the movie because I was already morning for my lost scarf.

Once the movie was over I looked where I had sat for a bit in the lobby. No scarf.

I decided to do something drastic. I asked the girl selling tickets if there was a lost and found. I have an irrational fear of customer service people.

But my bravery was rewarded by my being united with my baby.

The End.
