But one thing I am truly diligent about it knowing where my keys are at all times. The thought of locking them in my car puts me into a panic.
You can see where this is going.
I locked my keys in the car the other day.
I was chatting it up with my dad and Harry was mistaking a muffin for a cupcake or a "you know, one of those biscuit things" to which I was sarcastically correcting him while en route to an assignment at a Russian restaurant. Well, the joke was on me because I had remembered to lock the doors but not to remove the GD keys from the ignition.
Dad was still on the line and somehow calmed me by reminding me this is why we have AAA. Oh, yeah.
When all was said, put on hold and transfered 14 times, AAA dispatched someone to help but not for another hour. The restaurant I was destined for was closed and the only other things in the strip mall were a dingy casino thingy (no surprise), a floral shop where the only attendant didn't speak English (no surprise) and a Chinese market where 15 people loitered and only one spoke English (still not surprised). Where would I beat the heat?
The Chinese market won. I wandered the aisles and was reminded again that I need to learn to:
a) habla a new language soon
b) not be such a cultural moron
Don't worry I had my camera. By the end of the visit, I had no appetite or shame.
Pasteurized packaged cheddar cheese product: Does this have to exist?
Shrimp paste: What would you even use this with?
Cockles: Just curious if they are ball sized.
If it's in this aisle, I probably can't pronounce or prepare it. That's embarrassing.
Reverse car theft: Still trying to figure out if I was supposed to tip him or something.
