Today I am wearing a shirt of unknown origin. And I'm strangely not bothered. Doesn't that seem wrong?
Seriously, I have no idea where this came from. It was in my drawer - the correct shirt drawer, I might add, not any old random drawer, so must have put it away because no one else has ever figured out my clothing filing system. I'm pretty sure I didn't buy it. No one gave it to me that I can remember. I can't think of any women who have taken off their clothes here (that I know about) who might have left it by mistake.
All of this ran through my head when I found it this morning. And yet I put it on. It smelled clean.
What does this say about me?
Well, it could indicate that Alzheimers is hitting early, and I've just forgotten where the shirt came from. That would be distressing but hardly suprising given my family history. But I don't seem agitated by my confusion, so that's a plus. If I don't care that I'm out of my mind, what's the biggie?
Or it could mean some woman, roughly my size, is forgetting her clothes in my house and I am the cliched "last to know". Hmmm. Thinking that one through...Well, if that's the case, I think it's time someone tell me. Because really, if I'll go so far as to find, launder, and wear the "other woman's" forgotten clothes, and not freak out about it, I'm clearly not going to put two and two together on my own.
Although, honestly, I don't think The Man is having an affair. If he was, I'm pretty sure he'd be happier. And he's pretty grumpy lately, so that doesn't fit.
So, if it's not Alzheimers, and not "Another Woman", where the heck did this shirt come from? Sleep shopping? Aliens? Reverse burlgery?
Gasp! Are my daughters shoplifting? Well, they're 7 and 10 and don't get out much, so unless a classmate's parent is mixing their Goodwill bag with their Room 12 Prize Box donations, my girls didn't bring home a woman's size 8 t-shirt.
Ah, well, what's a girl to do? Not exactly appropriate to put up lost & found posters for a shirt, and I really like it. And it fits. So I think I'll just wear it and see what happens.
Although feel free to yell if you've lost a shirt.
