Someone stole my keys

Actually, I've misplaced them.

However, I read somewhere that the older we get the more likely we are to say things like, "I've lost my keys."

Younger folks say, "Who took my keys?" or "Someone stole my keys."

And there's something about adopting the who-stole-my-keys rap that keeps us younger. Or maybe it keeps us from slipping into full-blown dementia.

I don't remember the whole article. Wait ... someone stole my memory of the article.

Anyway, I think the keys are in:

A) That sweet ride of mine

or

B) A basket of laundry I brought in from that same, sweet ride.

I had the keys when I came into the house the other night. I must have, I had to unlock the door. After that I made two trips to the minivan. On one of those trips I brought in the basket of clean laundry.

I have extra keys -- obviously -- so I haven't knocked myself out looking for the lost set. But, I have been in the minivan several times since the keys came up missing. And, I have the clean basket of clothes in the put-me-away staging area at the foot of my bed. Why is it I never think to check either location the multiple times I've been in or walked by both?
