Today's Exactly100: Senior Moment

I had just handed the bakeshop cashier my payment for a pack of ensaymada when I remembered that food items were covered by the senior discount. 

I put my hand in my right pocket. No wallet. Half-running to our table, I told my wife, calmly, “Nawawala ang wallet ko.” She freaked. 

The rest was a blur. I returned to the cashier, dejected. And I saw my wallet. It was in front of the cash register all the time. Amusing perhaps to the cashier, seeing a crazed senior citizen nearly tearing out his hair, that she didn’t notice it was there. /Joey Salgado
