Where do things go that disappear? I have some things that I just can't find, that seem to be just gone. Recently, a couple pairs of sunglasses have just vanished. I have no idea what happened to them, but they are nowhere to be found. I'm in a 1-bedroom apartment and I've lost 2 pairs of sunglasses. Seriously, they have disappeared. Maybe the cat is using them for one of his "projects", but I'm not amused.
When I was in the 8th grade, my glasses disappeared. Sure, I probably left them in a class or dropped them in the hall, but they never turned up. They were prescription glasses; who was keeping them? Who was not turning them in to the lost and found. And, yet, poof! Gone forever.
I lost my diploma for a while, but that eventually turned up. I had some computer software that disappeared but reappeared when I was cleaning the house. I cannot find my personal cookbook, where I keep all my favorite recipes. (I still think it will turn up at my parents' house.) I have lost about 10 pairs of sunglasses, which is why I buy cheap ones, and I got my left ear pierced a second time because I had lost so many earrings that I had too many single earrings to let go to waste.
Many years ago, I saw a comedian who said that when you go to heaven, the first thing St. Peter does is hand you all those things you've lost. So, if you see me in heaven, I've got sunglasses and earrings!
