So I was leaving work. I packed up my computer, and my briefcase - walked out the office door and locked it.
I noticed then that I was still wearing my whistle ( used to get attention in class - 'The Black Whistle of Certain Doom' is what I've playfully christened it ). I like to leave it on my desk when I go. I'm wondering if I can be bothered unlocking the door and going back in when I remember that I left my lunch box in there ( a plastic old-school style design - neon pink in colour ).
Two items push me over the door-unlock threshold. I zap back inside, get items, lock door, set alarm, lock building, go to car.
It's not until I open the boot that I notice that I'm not in fact holding my lunchbox. I have instead, inexplicably, my stapler ( which is about 1/16 smaller, and blue ).
Something is very wrong here.
You are clearly getting ready for parenthood. Random and inexplicable lapses of memory are commonplace for new parents. It's hormonal (sympathy hormones), sleep deprivation related, and quite normal.
