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.
