All my life Iโ€™ve suffered from โ€˜MOBSโ€™. As the name suggests, it only affects males, and in my case is particularly severe.

So when Jax asked me last night to get her AirPods from her desk, I immediately said yes, while my internal alert system moved into overdrive.

I searched the desk, surrounding area, even where they would normally be charging, eventually returning to the kitchen, head hung low - to report an ‘F2F’ - that would be Failure to Find to you rookies.

She was quick to reply: โ€œOn the right-hand side of the desk, by the journals.โ€

Back upstairs I went. Nope. Not there. I searched the whole room. Nothing. Nada. Null.

Back downstairs I came.

โ€œStill not there,โ€ I reported.

โ€œGood grief, do I need to go?โ€

โ€œYes,โ€ I said. โ€œClearly I am incapable.โ€

She downed tools, walked two steps, and announced: โ€œTheyโ€™re in my pocket.โ€

Of course to Jax it was hilarious. Me? Still working through the emotional roller coaster that I typically ride in these situations.

Leon reposted this ๐Ÿ”— Disparaging Nouns | Forking Mad+ … with some commentary. Got a couple of comments back in turn - so I thought I would pop over to see what was being said in context - because personally I had never heard of โ€˜walloperโ€™ โ€ฆ Brit here with a โ€˜lifetimeโ€™ in the USA and 6 years .. so far โ€ฆ across the Tasman.
