They say that women carry everything but the kitchen sink in their handbags. This may be true, but I can reveal that new mothers carry a lot more in their dressing gown pockets.
This morning I found the car keys in my pocket. What were they doing there? Had I been out for a midnight jaunt and forgotten?
Digging deeper, I also discovered a glow-in-the-dark dummy, a pink-ink pen, a tube of paw paw lip balm, a $5 note, a torch, a birthday card and a tea bag (not used).
Last Friday I was packing an Easter Rabbit, a pair of sunglasses, clean black knickers, a flannel and the TV remote control in my dressing gown.
Lost the salt shaker? Can't find your camera? Looking for last week's Sunday paper? Better check my pockets! I have become a walking bower bird that pitifully declares 'Can you help me, I seem to have lost....'
My mind.
You'll be right - the mind will reassert itself. However, the habits may remain.
