Do things like this ever happen to others?

I’ve had a bit of a digestive problem for the last two days and have remained in close vicinity to the bathroom because of it. Tonight, I experienced some more stomach cramps and decided enough is enough! “Where is that imodium?” I know I had one or two tablets left from my travels. I always carry it on flights because bathroom troubles are not fun on a 13-hour flight. I searched in all my usual places where I stash meds so they are “handy.” Nothing. I guess I used it up.

My poor long-suffering hubby. It is later in the day and he was relaxing. But I, while grabbing my abdomen and groaning for sympathy, imprecated him to go to Walgreen’s and purchase some new. He graciously did so.

I was opening packaging for those tablets; I had just been in the bathroom and figured I had some time to spare; and realized I needed some scissors to break through the plastic. I went to the dresser and got my finger nail scissors. As I was cutting open the package, I glanced at the porcelain tray decorating the top. I put miscellaneous items there.

The tablets from my latest flight were residing there, ready, in case of an emergency.

Do I tell hubby or not?

Imprecate is not a good usage here. Implore would be better. Oh well.

What he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him.

Don't worry about it.

He'd have gone if there was a case of those pills sitting around and you asked for more.

It's an old guy thing.

I would tell my husband because it always makes him feel he’s not the only one either forgetful or making mistakes. Then we laugh about it.
