“Finders” / A Memorable Fancy #299

Some people just lose track of everything. “Have you seen my…?” is a cliché. It would be unfair to call these people “Losers,” as that word isn’t normally applied to people who merely can’t find their car keys in the morning. Perhaps “Weepers” will do.

There are other people, however, whom we can fairly call “Finders.” A Finder knows where your car keys are, makes fun of you because you have no idea that you left them on the bathroom counter, while she knew all along where they were, knew where you would misplace them long before you left them there, knew that you would have to grovel if you wanted to drive that day.

Sometimes, these people call themselves “Keepers.”
