Okay, I'll start.

This morning I went out to pickup the newspaper off the driveway. That was my intention when I went out the door.

I walked straight to the mailbox, opened it, saw that there was no mail (it's Sunday morning ), closed it and walked back into the house. No newspaper in hand.

The newspaper was on the sidewalk directly behind the mailbox. I saw it. Don't know why I didn't pick it up. I was lost in thought.....about what I don't know.....and now I'm hoping nobody saw me go check the mail and leave the paper!
