Faster than a three year old wearing out a toy. More forgetful than the absent-minded professor. Able to induce a sense of deja vu similar to seeing a set of identical triplets.
It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Jeff losing his umbrella again.
Singlehandedly, my husband is protecting the greater Washington D.C. Metro area one raindrop at a time. Each time it looks like bad weather is in the forecast or even hinted at, Jeff reaches in the hall closet for an umbrella to bring with him to work. And each day, upon his return home at the end of the day, he tells another tale of losing (misplacing) his umbrella at Union Station.
It has happened so frequently that I can't help but break out into giggles when he calls to tell me he is at the train station waiting for the VRE, and then inevitably, he groans and says with a pained voice, "OH NO! Not again!!". At some point, he has put the umbrella down and then walked away.
I am sure the people at Union Station must be thinking this is their lucky day. A few more months of Jeff working downtown and it will be everyone's lucky day at some point.
Anyone know if they sell umbrellas in bulk at Costco? It's time to stock up again.
