Perhaps someone else can explain it

I hadn't seen my iPod in about 6 weeks. I had some idea I'd put it in a Good Hiding Place, but after I looked behind all the books in my bookcase, I had no other brainstorms. Mystified. But thinking it'll turn up eventually.

Today, I was starving at work. My Greek yogurt and applesauce clearly did not do the trick. So I looked around what I had and finally in my file drawer. Spotted the box of instant oatmeal. "Ah," I said. "That will be perfect." Reached in the box for a packet, and... voila. There was my iPod.

Great place to hide it, at least from me.

Now if only my cell phone will reappear...
