Ah yes, and early case of Teen Pattern Blindness. A very common condition. Fortunately for you, most girls eventually grow out of it. Unfortunately for me, in boys it frequently develops into the incurable Male Pattern Blindness.

My son can't find the gallon jug of OJ in the fridge if there's so much as an 8oz carton of yoghourt in front of it.

I on the other hand spent about 15 minutes looking for my thimble last night. Gave up. Got out my backup thimble only to find the other thimble on the WRONG FINGER. This made it totally invisible and it was only the sound of the two of them clinking together that enabled me to see it.

Male pattern blindness!

I am SO stealing that one for this household. Until now I've called it "refrigerator blindness".

That's happened to me once or twice when I accidentally put my key in the left pocket instead of the right pocket!

Heh. Teen Pattern Blindness. Appropriate.

My Grandfather used to ask us to ehlp find his glasses..., when they were perched on the top of his head.

My eldest does that. He doesn't turn 7 until September.

I fear for my future. *shudder*

Because, really - you ARE me and Bree could very well be one of mine. We really should get together. :D

LMAO.

Yes, we really should. I'd like to at some point. :)

The number of times is "gazillion" for when neither I nor my darling have found things that were right in front of us. It's gotten to the point where I seriously have to ask him every night before he goes to sleep, "Now where did you put your glasses?" because if the spot is not the optimal one for locating them, it's a complete potshot as to whether either of us will be able to find them in the morning, even though they are ALWAYS in arm's reach.

Well, the shoe in question couldn't be found because it really hadn't been looked for. ;)

Well, it's a teen thing, too. I know this is just the beginning. Oy, the attitude!
