Hello, my dear children! Gather ’round for a moment because we need to have a little heart-to-heart. You know those two incredible orbs in your head, commonly referred to as “eyes”? It’s time to put them to good use because, frankly, I think you’ve forgotten how to employ them effectively.
These lovely little things are meant for seeing, and I know you can do it—I’ve invested a small fortune in eye exams to affirm your ability. I’ve seen you focus intently on random YouTube clips (unboxing? gaming tutorials? really?), and you can spot every single minor infraction your sibling commits at lightning speed, racing to tell on them at the first opportunity. So, I can only assume that when you roll your eyes, it’s a workout for those muscles, keeping them nice and strong.
Where Are Your Belongings?
Now, here’s the million-dollar question: Why is it that you can never find your belongings? With two perfectly functioning optical organs, it seems impossible that you can’t locate your own stuff, especially when we’re in a hurry.
“We need to leave now! Put your shoes on!” I call out.
“I can’t find them! They’re gone!” you respond dramatically.
Your frantic tone would be understandable if you had truly searched every nook and cranny or moved furniture to check underneath. However, your “search” usually lasts about 15 seconds in the living room before you give up. Then, when I step in to assist, frustrated as can be, there they are—right in front of you, practically begging to be noticed. It’s not like I’m asking you to find a needle in a haystack.
You have eagle eyes when it comes to spotting anyone taking a minuscule scoop of your ice cream or noticing that your piggy bank has been shifted a mere millimeter. So it baffles me why you can’t see items that are literally right in front of you.
It’s Not Just About Shoes
And let’s not kid ourselves; it’s not just about shoes. If I had a dollar for every time I heard, “Mom, where’s my…?” (Underwear! Backpack! Fidget spinner!), I’d be lounging on a tropical beach with a drink in hand. A perfect world where lost items don’t exist. I’m juggling a million responsibilities as it is, without having to recall where I last saw your Xbox remote, which somehow ended up wedged between the bed and the wall, under your pile of dirty clothes.
Listen up, kiddos: My uterus is not a tracking device. Just because I seem to find everyone’s missing items doesn’t mean I’m obligated to do so, or that I even want to. Your belongings aren’t lost; you just need to put in a little effort to look for them. And let me be clear: the next time you “misplace” something that is not actually lost, I might just misplace my patience.
