The truly invisible tape....

scotch tape by Ann HaydenHere is a story to make you smile.  My son, Alex, home from college is working on some Christmas presents.  He borrowed the scotch tape from me for something.  He used the tape and then for some unknown reason, he could not find it... 

I think this young man is going to drive himself crazy.  I have to laugh though because this is exactly something I would find myself doing.  Knowing this, he pretended to act as crazy as I might. ;-)

To give him a break from looking, I send him out to get the mail.  Upon returning, he spends another 30 minutes looking for the now apparently, very, invisible tape.  I convince him to tell me what he did after he received the tape....  He retraced his steps while I followed and looked as only a mother could.  (lol)

Finally, he said he went to his room, to which I commented, "The tape is in your room."  He adamantly denied this...eventually he did go back to his room and looked again.  And magically, there is the tape upside-down on top of his stack of CD's.  I laughed so hard, I nearly cried. 

He laughed too and decided he should write 3M and tell them the tape really is invisible.

As a reminder from the Hayden house, Enjoy the holiday season!  It will never be 2008 again.

Ann, I hate it when that invisible act happens in life. For me in the morning, every morning, I think my car keys are related to your tape.

Gary,

I am right there with you concerning the invisible keys...  Mine are never where they are supposed to be.  Keys and tape must be related...and a distant cousin to the money that was in my wallet....

Ann,

That is a cute story - invisible tape. I don't know if remember the old cellophane tape that was thick and turned yellow? :)

Hi Ann, So you are correct... this truly is invisible tape. This is call NARF - (normal aging, something, something - oh I forgot - LOL).  Normal memory loss.  Happens to all of us and makes us think we're losing our minds.

Steve,

Yes, I have a photo album with that yellow tape all over the place in it.  The pictures are old and the tape did not help them....

Sandy,

This NARF thing would be true for me but he is only 21!!!  He is not supposed to FORGET where he put something only moments ago.....  This would be why I found it so funny...

LOL
