Have you hidden something important, but forgotten where you put it when you needed it? I don't know how or why this situation happens; I am just aware that it does!
For safekeeping, Mickey hid a bunch of his cards of value. He didn't let me know where, so when he began looking yesterday, I could not help him find them. Looking distraught, I gave in and assisted him in the senseless search, running here and there like a headless chicken! He and I went for an hour or so and checked every possible hiding place in and around the house. We looked in every drawer, box, case we could imagine the cards could have been stashed away, but our efforts were futile. After a long morning of reading and studying today, Mickey got tired and took a nap; mid nap time, he bounced out of bed and loudly announced, "I remember where I put the cards!" Half awake, he got up and went straight for the location. Eureka! The cards were actually where his brain file told him to look! How awesome was that?

Has this ever
happened to you? Why indeed does our
brain play hide-and-seek games with us?
